THE National Union of Heads of Schools has urged the Education Ministry to allow headmasters to be given autonomy to open their schools in stages, reported China Press.
In an interview, the union’s newly appointed president Lim Bee Khim said she hoped that Year One pupils would be given priority to attend school to get used to the new environment.
“As schools are not allowed to hold welcoming days for our new pupils, they would not have time to get to know the school, the teachers, their classmates, their classrooms and even their seating.
