Only registered student transport providers (STPs) with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be paid by the Ministry of Education.
In that regard, STPs are requested to register themselves as soon as possible with the Land Transport Authority.
Names of STPs around the country will be provided by the LTA and schools will be notified accordingly.
The Ministry understands that quite a number of students travel by carrier, mini-bus or boat to school and it is the responsibility of these transport providers to obtain a licence to take students to and from school.
Without this special licence, the Ministry will not be able to redeem claims by unregistered transport providers.
The Ministry greatly appreciates the assistance of these transport providers and it is only proper that they operate within LTA’s conditions and guidelines, for the safety and care of our students.
Minister for Education, National Heritage, Culture & Arts, Youth & Sports, Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment, Mr Filipe Bole.
