RECOMMENDATIONS submitted by a committee set up to review primary education here have been accepted by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Some of the suggestions include doing away with exams in primary one and two, moving all government primary schools to single session by 2016 and recruiting only graduates as teachers by 2015.

Accepting the recommendations on Tuesday during a visit to Greenridge Primary School, Education Minister Ng Eng Hen said they were 'sensible' and will raise the standards of primary education here to a higher level.
