I would like to inform the Deputy that the school mentioned has been granted funding for 2 mainstream classrooms, 4 special education tuition rooms, and conversion works for 2 special education classrooms under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme of my department.
The school submitted documentation in the fourth quarter of 2023 for this project which did not align with the extent of the approved project. Consequently, Department officials requested revised plans that are in line with the original project brief. In the first quarter of 2024, my Department received the revised submission which is currently under review by my Department officials. The school authority will receive notification of the review outcome shortly.
