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.

Additionally, I would like to inform the Deputy that the school had provided documentation for this project in the fourth quarter of 2023, which deviated from the approved plans. As a result, the Department officials asked for updated plans that adhere to the original project brief.

During the first quarter of 2024, the revised submission was received by my department. Given the complexity of the project, it is currently being reviewed by department officials. Upon completion of the review, the school will be advised on the subsequent actions to be taken.
