Notes

Between 1960 and 1990, the number of primary schools in Singapore decreased by more than half, due to urbanization and population policies that consolidated schools to maximize resources. Following this period, the number of schools stabilized at about 180 due to a stable population and well-planned education infrastructure, enabling constant access to primary education without the need for further downsizing.
