2025年1月8日，新加坡教育部長陳振聲在國會書面答覆官委議員徐錦莉關於高等教育機構中具有特殊教育需求的青年人數及其實習情況。‍‍‍‍‍

以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：

徐錦莉（官委議員）詢問教育部長：

(a) 自2018年以來，有多少特需（SEN）青年正在接受或已完成高等教育？

(b) 其中，有多少人正在或已完成實習，並隨後進入與其所學領域相關的工作崗位？

(c) 已經或將要推出哪些舉措來：(i) 鼓勵僱主為這些青年提供實習機會，以及(ii) 教育、指導和支持僱主創建包容性工作環境，並設計適合不同技能水平的工作崗位？‍

陳振聲（教育部長）：特需學生（SEN）可以選擇進入主流學校或特殊教育（SPED）學校就讀。在特需教育學校中，部分學生學習經過支持的國家課程，另一部分則受益於定製的特需教育課程。

對於學習國家課程的特需學生，教育部（MOE）致力於讓儘可能多的學生升入中學後教育機構（PSEIs）。

主流學校的中學生及更高年級學生有教育和職業指導顧問，幫助他們做出關於教育和職業規劃的明智決策。對於有額外需求的學生，教師和學校工作人員（如SEN官員）會提供進一步的指導和支持。

特殊教育學校的學生在過渡到中學後教育機構時也會獲得支持。學校與學生及其家庭密切合作，為每位特殊教育學生制定個性化過渡計劃，以實現他們畢業後的目標。

目前，我們約有7,000名報告有特需學生在高等教育學府（IHLs）就讀。

對於有實習要求的高等教育課程，特需學生也需要參與其中。SG Enable高等教育實習計劃幫助將殘疾學生與各行業的包容性組織進行匹配。許多高等教育學府為可能難以獲得外部實習機會的學生提供校內實習機會。此外，還提供實習前的就業研討會和職位匹配計劃，以幫助特需學生從高等教育學府順利過渡到職場。無論學生的特殊需求狀況如何，我們都鼓勵他們進行自我倡導，在必要時表達自己的需求並請求工作場所的合理調整。

對於在特殊教育學校學習定製課程並展現出就業潛力的學生，教育部還與SG Enable合作，通過「從學校到工作過渡計劃」等項目提供就業支持。教育部還加強了特殊教育職業教育課程，強調有意識地教授軟技能和提供更結構化的職業指導。符合條件的學生還可以在特殊教育學校（如Metta School和Delta Senior School）參加選定的工藝教育學院技能證書課程和勞動力技能資格課程。此外，SG Enable通過「開放門戶計劃」提供激勵措施（如補助金），幫助僱主為殘疾學生重新設計工作崗位。

‍‍‍‍

我們鼓勵更多僱主加入全社會的努力，採取包容性思維，使更多具有特殊教育需求的新加坡青年能夠進入職場並取得成功。通過一些調整和更多的理解，僱主可以從特需學生為工作團隊帶來的價值中受益。

以下是英文質詢內容：

Ms See Jinli Jean asked the Minister for Education (a) since 2018, how many youths with special educational needs have undergone or are undergoing tertiary education; (b) of which, how many have undergone or are undergoing internships and have subsequently entered jobs in their fields of study; and (c) what initiatives have been or will be introduced to (i) encourage employers to offer internships to these youths and (ii) educate, guide and support employers in creating inclusive work environments and jobs that are calibrated to accommodate different skill levels.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: Students with special educational needs (SEN) are enrolled in either mainstream or Special Education (SPED) schools. For students in SPED schools, some learn the national curriculum with support and others benefit from a customised SPED curriculum.

For students with SEN learning the national curriculum, the Ministry of Education (MOE) strives to have as many of them progress to post-secondary education institutions (PSEIs) as possible.

Secondary and older students in mainstream schools have Education and Career Guidance Counsellors to guide them in making informed decisions about their education and career plans. Students with additional needs will receive further guidance and support from teachers and school personnel, such as SEN officers.

Students in SPED schools also receive support in transitioning to PSEIs. Schools work closely with students and their families to develop an Individual Transition Plan for each SPED student, to realise their post-school goals.

Presently, we have approximately 7,000 students with reported SEN enrolled across the Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs).

For IHL courses that have internship requirements, students with SEN are expected to participate in them. The SG Enable IHL Internship Programme assists in matching students with disabilities to inclusive organisations in various sectors. Many of our IHLs provide internship opportunities on campus for students who may face greater difficulties securing external internships. Pre-internship, employment workshops and job matching programmes are also provided to help manage the transition of students with SEN from IHLs to the workplace. All students, regardless of their SEN condition, are encouraged to exercise self-advocacy to communicate their needs and request job accommodations at the workplace, if needed.

For students who offer a customised curriculum in SPED and demonstrate potential for employment, MOE also partners with SG Enable on employment support through programmes, such as the School-To-Work Transition Programme. MOE has also enhanced the SPED Vocational Education curriculum to emphasise the intentional teaching of soft skills and more structured vocational guidance. Eligible students can also enrol in selected Institute of Technical Education Skills Certificate programmes and Workforce Skills Qualifications courses in SPED schools, such as Metta School and Delta Senior School. In addition, SG Enable provides incentives, such as grants, from the Open Door Programme to help employers redesign jobs for students with disabilities.

We encourage more employers to be part of our whole-of-society effort and adopt an inclusive mindset to enable more young Singaporeans with SEN to enter and thrive in our workforce. With some adjustment and greater understanding, employers can benefit from the value that students with SEN bring to their work teams.
