More Measures to Reduce Teachers' Non-teaching Workload

65 Mr Lee Hong Chuang asked the Minister for Education what extra steps is the Ministry taking to reduce non-teaching workload for teachers, including administrative duties, co-curricular commitments, lesson planning and parent-communications, so that teachers may devote a greater portion of their time to direct teaching and student interaction.

Mr Desmond Lee: This question has been addressed in my response on the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2024 findings and management of teachers' workload and well-being at the Parliamentary Sitting on 4 November 2025, which is available on MOE's website.
