Primary Schools with Reduced Intakes in 2023 Compared to 2003 and 2013

3 Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Education what is the number and percentage of primary schools in 2023 that have had their intakes reduced as compared to 2003 and 2013 respectively.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: As mentioned in the Ministry of Education's response to a similar Parliamentary Question posed by Ms Hazel Poa for the Parliament Sitting on 5 February 2025, the school landscape has evolved significantly over the past two decades to better support the educational needs of our students. [Please refer to "Schools Which Conducted Balloting at Phase 2A of 2023's Primary 1 Registration Exercise That Also Had Reduced Intake", Official Report, 5 February 2025, Vol 95, Issue 151, Written Answers to Questions section.]

Therefore, to the Member's question, it would not be relevant to compare the intake of primary schools over the past two decades.
