Creating a Singapore fit for children |
|
 |
|
I believe that the next big frontier
is pre-school education. The literature consistently suggests that
early intervention through a high quality pre-school education can
help make up for deficiencies in home environments by way of
ensuring school readiness. |
|
Yet 2006 figures show that five
percent of children entering primary school have not attended
preschool. We want to ensure that as many children as possible are
in preschool, so that they get a good start in life... |
