连荣华先生向教育部长提问：
（a）教育部是否追踪学校内和社区内学生托管中心（SCC）的接受率；
（b）如果是，分别是多少；以及
（c）这些SCC下的课程是否可以进一步增强，包括添加额外的丰富活动。
教育部长 颜晓芳女士（代表教育部）：先生，议长，教育部（MOE）和社会与家庭发展部（MSF）追踪学生在学校内和社区内学生托管中心（SCC）的注册情况。所有182所小学都设有SCC，总共约有33,000名学生。约有190个社区型SCC在MSF注册，总共约有8,300名学生。
MOE定期与学校内SCC就其课程进行沟通。学校内SCC需要提供每周的户外活动和丰富活动，包括阅读、演讲与戏剧、创意写作、音乐和艺术，以培养学生的价值观、社交情感能力和21世纪能力。所有注册的社区型SCC都必须符合MSF规定的标准，其中包括为学生提供结构化的日常课程。这些SCC具有灵活性，可以提供各种课程和额外的丰富活动，以满足学生的需求。
议长：连荣华先生。
连荣华先生（武吉班让）：谢谢，先生。自从我们引入SCC以来已经过去了好几年了。我相信它们仍然起著很好的作用，特别是对于那些父母在工作的孩子。既然这已经实施了好几年，我能否问一下部长，MOE是否会进行新的审查，以查看课程是否可以进一步更新或加强，特别是考虑到现在强调超越分数的学习，所以SCC是否也可以与之对齐？
颜晓芳女士：简短回答是，是的，我们将继续审查我们学校内SCC提供的课程。MOE认识到学生全面发展的重要性，正如前面提到的，我们学校内的SCC提供户外活动、丰富活动，以培养学生的价值观和21世纪能力。这与我们超越分数的方向是一致的。
学校也与SCC和社区合作，以不同方式支持学生的学习和发展。例如，国家图书局开展阅读计划，培养学生的阅读兴趣。新加坡乐龄义工组织（RSVP Singapore）基于兴趣的活动，吸引我们SCC的学生参加，以便他们获得生活技能和价值观。
议长：连荣华先生。
连荣华先生：先生，我能不能再提一个问题，就是需求是否持续存在？颜晓芳女士提到了学校内SCC有33,000名学生，社区内SCC有8,000名学生。那么，我们是否看到了更多或更高的需求，是否会提供更多的SCC？如果是的话。
颜晓芳女士：MOE和MSF密切监测学生在学校内和社区内SCC的注册情况。截至目前，大多数SCC没有等候名单，或者等候名单很短。
以下是英文质询内容：
Mr Liang Eng Hwa asked the Minister for Education (a) whether the Ministry tracks the take-up rate of school-based and community-based Student Care Centres (SCC); (b) if so, what are the take-up rates respectively; and (c) whether programmes under these SCCs can be further enhanced to include additional enrichment activities.
The Minister of State for Education (Ms Gan Siow Huang) (for the Minister for Education): Mr Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) track the enrolment of students in school-based and community-based Student Care Centres, or SCCs. All 182 primary schools have SCCs, with a total enrolment of about 33,000 students. There are about 190 community-based SCCs that are registered with MSF, with a total enrolment of about 8,300 students.
MOE regularly engages school-based SCCs on their programmes. School-based SCCs are required to provide weekly outdoor programmes and enrichment activities, including reading, speech and drama, creative writing, music and art, to develop values, socio-emotional competencies and 21st century competencies in our students. All registered community-based SCCs are required to meet standards stipulated by MSF, which includes providing a structured daily programme for their students. These SCCs have the flexibility to offer programmes and additional enrichment activities to meet the needs of their students.
Mr Speaker: Mr Liang Eng Wah.
Mr Liang Eng Hwa (Bukit Panjang): Thank you, Sir. It has been quite a number of years since we introduced the SCCs. I believe they still serve a good purpose, especially for latch-key kids whose parents are working.
Now that this has been implemented for a number of years, can I ask the Minister of State if MOE would do a fresh review, to see if the programmes can be updated further or can be enhanced, especially, given the emphasis now to embrace learning beyond grades, so, whether the SCCs can be aligned to that as well?
Ms Gan Siow Huang: The short answer is yes, we will continue to review the programmes offered at our school-based SCCs. MOE recognises the importance of holistic development of our students and, as mentioned, our school-based SCCs provide outdoor programmes, enrichment activities to develop values and 21st century competencies in our students. And this is in line with our direction to go beyond grades.
Schools also work with SCCs and community partners to support Learning and Development of our students in different ways. For example, the National Library Board conducts reading programmes to cultivate the love for reading in our students. RSVP Singapore organises interest-based activities to engage our SCC students, so that they are imparted with life skills and values.
Mr Speaker: Mr Liang.
Mr Liang Eng Hwa: Sir, can I just follow up with another question about whether the demands continue to be there? The Minister of State mentioned 33,000 for school-based SCCs and 8,000 for the community-based SCCs. So, whether we have seen more or higher demand and whether there will be more SCCs to be provided, if so.
Ms Gan Siow Huang: Both MOE and MSF together monitor very closely the enrolment of students in both the school-based SCCs, as well as the community-based SCCs. As of now, most SCCs do not have a wait list, or they have a very short wait list.
