SINGAPORE — Workers' Party (WP) Member of Parliament (MP) Leon Perera on Monday (Nov 28) called for a stronger culture of accountability at institutes of higher learning for the welfare and rights of students and staff members, saying that several recent incidents have shown signs of gaps. The deci

were granted a meeting with university administrators only after six months, Mr Perera added.

“I don’t think these are necessarily representative of the institutions they took place and it is not my wish to single out any particular institute of higher learning for criticism, but they serve to give us a sense of what students in feel are some of the areas where the accountability culture can be improved.

Simplify the process for setting up new student groups, so students are empowered to set up their own groups based on their interests and passions Mr Chan also took issue with Mr Perera’s reference to a survey published last year by the Academia.sg website, which suggested that there was a significant proportion of academics concerned about the state of academic freedom.

Petitions should not have a requisite number of signatures because the “correct thing”, which the institutes are already doing, is to take every feedback seriously, he added.
