"Practice of withholding results slips should be reviewed: Ong Ye Kung
SINGAPORE: The practice of withholding original Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results slips over unpaid school fees should be reviewed, said Education Minister Ong Ye Kung in response to a recent online petition.
Mr Ong's comments were made public on Wednesday (Dec 18) after Mr Terence Tan, who started the petition, uploaded the minister's e-mail response on his Facebook page.
"I believe the minister was weighing his thoughts on the matter. His email doesn't specify if our petition was a factor, as his points weren't based on the contents of our petition per se," said Mr Tan.
"The key takeaway for me is that he is thinking whether the practice works when it comes to parents' arrears.""
Good that the Minister of Education Mr Ong is thinking abt this particular matter.
Q is: do we need it to b highlighted by a social activist n a petition to get a not so human-oriented process challenged?
What could hv happened to that specific staff if s/he had acted through her/his conscience to just give the Original PSLE Results slip?
R we expecting too much that things should work perfectly n no one ever need to correct a mistake!!
