We have a full agenda ahead of us, and we look forward to working with all Singaporeans to write our next chapter of the Singapore Story.”bolishing the streaming scheme and moving to Full Subject-Based Banding, greater support for special-needs students, expanding the definition of merit, and providing more training for mature mid-career Singaporeans.
