THE Government will upgrade both the 'hardware' and 'software' of the education system, said Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
The Education Ministry (MOE) will hire more teachers and enhance the quality of the teaching force.
It will also bring in 'many others' to schools to collaborate with teachers to give each child better attention, said Mr Tharman.
On the hardware part, the MOE will provide better facilities for 'all-round education' in every school and accelerate some projects, like the roll-out of indoor sports halls.
The Government expects to spend an average of $9,200 per student each year, over the next five years. This is an increase of about 60 per cent compared with the previous five years, he added.
