One of the greatest failures of SSC is the SEP or Sports Education Program. It is a criminal waste of taxpayer's money which has generated few if any benefits.

Yes, it is a tragic mistake to get commercial vendors to train the students and get parents to pay good money to these vendors. The vendors are just out to make money. I know of a primary sch which gets the paerents to train their 10 year old children badminton for $10 an hour. The coach is from china and he has abt 16 students...per session..every two hrs, he gets $320. it';s money making venture for him. he may be able to impart badminton skills, but MOE and Sports Ministry have missed the real benefits of Sports.

How abt children whose parents cant afford to pay?

Sports shd be for all and under the purview of MOE and MCYS
