For MOE Kindergartens & Primary Schools

On 4 January 2022, only Kindergarten 1 children in MOE kindergartens and Primary 1 pupils will report to their schools for the first day of school. This includes the primary and junior sections of special education schools, and is similar to the arrangement earlier this year.

One parent or guardian will be allowed to accompany their Kindergarten 1 or Primary 1 child or ward to their new school to help them better adjust to the new environment and routines.

Kindergarten 2 children and Primary 2 to 6 pupils will return to school only a day later on 5 January 2022.

This will better facilitate the safe return of students at the start of the school year and ensure safe management measures can be implemented effectively, said the Ministry of Education. (Source [8 Nov 2021])
