Parliament on 23 September 2025 heard renewed calls from Members of Parliament for stronger measures to protect students against bullying in schools. Education Minister Desmond Lee said the Ministry of Education (MOE) is considering proposals such as a centralised anti-bullying unit, expert guidance on restorative practices, and stronger engagement with parent support groups. According to Lee, they will be part of MOE’s ongoing review of school bullying, with final recommendations expected in the first half of 2026. Jurong Central SMC MP Xie Yao Quan proposed a centralised unit to ease the administrative burden on teachers. “When we say step in, it doesn’t mean we overprotect,” he said, noting that schools act to prevent further harm, support victims, and help perpetrators reflect and reform.
