PM said quality of pre-school education has to be substantially raised, while keeping pre-school affordable, especially for middle- and lower-income households.
Hence, the Government will invest substantial resources in pre-school and play a more active role. It will establish a new statutory board to oversee the sector but will not nationalise the sector. MOE and MCYS will study this.
PM also cautioned parents against “over-teaching” pre-school children and said having no homework is not a bad thing. It is good for young children to play and learn through play, he said.
