Budget Day will be on Feb 18.
However, MPs will not be the only ones debating it in Parliament.
Students from 11 junior colleges are also getting in on the act.
They will be taking part in the Budget Challenge 2011 and will be debating proposed policy initiatives for Singapore.
Organised jointly by the Ministry of Finance and Parliament, the aim is to enhance awareness of the Budget process and government policies among junior college students and students in the final two years of the integrated programme.
Each participating team will represent a ministry of their choice and propose a policy initiative.
The teams will debate in a parliamentary setting during the preliminary round.
The top five teams will advance to the final round.
It is hoped that by their participation, the students will appreciate the "cut-and-thrust" of a parliamentary-style debate.
