There were 59 students who received the Public Service Commission (PSC) scholarship last year as well as 2021.
On Wednesday (July 28), Education Minister Chan Chun Sing presented the awards to recipients at a virtual closed-door ceremony. In his speech, Mr Chan announced a new mid-career leaders track bringing in talent from the people and private sectors, to boost recruitment in the public sector.
The scholarship recipients this year came from a variety of junior colleges, Integrated Programme or International Baccalaureate schools, and polytechnics. They will be studying at both local and overseas universities.
In his opening address, PSC chairman Lee Tzu Yang emphasised the need for stronger and more resilient future public service leaders from diverse backgrounds. He said the PSC will support those who have decided to go overseas, and has engaged professional services such as counselling to enhance their well-being.
