About 13,000 students will benefit when the scheme is expanded, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday.
It is part of efforts aimed at closing the gaps that children from disadvantaged homes may face.
The scheme by the Ministry of Education (MOE), known as the Uplift Enhanced School Resourcing programme, has been piloted in 23 schools since 2019 and helped improve the academic work and school attendance of more than 2,000 students each year.
From next year, four to five more teachers will be deployed to each school in the programme, starting with another 24 schools, MOE said.
Speaking at a virtual appreciation event for educators and community partners, PM Lee said results from the pilot scheme are encouraging.
