The Ministry of Education says it is actively addressing the provision of Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) services to ensure employees have access to effective, efficient and sustainable psychosocial support.

The ministry said so in a statement on December 9 after media reports of some teachers opting to pay $450 per session for counselling, despite the ministry supposedly providing an EAP service.

“The Ministry of Education confirms that funding for the EAP was allocated from the fiscal 2026 Budget,” the statement said.
