The Ministry of Education (MOE) release statement on 4 March 2016 that amid falling student cohort sizes, 22 secondary schools — including some household names — will be merged into 11 by 2018.
Shrinking birth rates in Singapore over the past two decades have led to a corresponding decline in overall demand for school places and a “significant excess” of secondary school places at the national level. Therefore Broadrick and MacPherson Secondary School merged.
