SINGAPORE: Teachers are reaching out to parents and students who have not responded to invitations to take the COVID-19 vaccination to offer assistance if needed, said Second Minister for Education Maliki Osman on Monday (Jun 14). It could be an issue where the parents do not know how to (sign up). It could be an issue that they are not quite familiar with the online system, he said, speaking to reporters at a vaccination centre at ITE College West.
SINGAPORE - More than 80 per cent of secondary school and pre-university students in graduating cohorts who have been offered the Covid-19 vaccine have registered to get the jab, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing said on Friday (June 4). This means that at least 43,000 students have signed up to get vaccinated, after about 52,000 text messages were sent out.
