The Main Literacy Programme is part-funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
Students are eligible for MOE funding for the MLP under the following conditions:
- Singaporean students attending a mainstream school
- Primary 1 to Secondary 5
- Diagnosed with dyslexia
Your child must maintain at least 75% attendance.
Please note that DAS and MOE will conduct a review of your child's progress before his/her 48, 72 and 96 months on the Main Literacy Programme to determine if he/she has reached specific achievement points to be eligible for continued MOE funding.
The MLP is also available to students who are diagnosed with dyslexia but do not meet the first two conditions. These students can access MLP but they are not eligible for MOE funding.
