SINGAPORE - Raffles Institution will launch its mentoring programme starting in 2023 in which RI students will provide academic tutoring to Primary 4 to 6 pupils who are receiving financial assistance

from their primary schools, RI principal Frederick Yeo announced on Saturday .

"We must ensure that highly capable students from less well-to-do families are not deterred from joining RI. This is a gap that we must continue to bridge consciously," Mr Yeo said. Dean of student development for Year 1 to 4 Melissa Lim Ai Lin, 47, said: “Through this programme, we hope our students will be able to contribute back to society, by paying forward to primary school pupils what they themselves have received and benefited from society."

"Only students with good conduct will be chosen to be mentors. This means they cannot have been called out for poor behaviour, come to school late or miss deadlines. If they cannot manage their own tasks and time well, they will not be good role models for the primary school pupils," said Ms Lim.
