It’s been more than a year since the ‘Forward Singapore’ exercise was launched. And the goal is to "review and refresh Singapore's social compact". One way the PAP Community Foundation (PCF) is contributing to this renewed social compact is to ensure preschoolers will get a smoother transition to formal schooling. They will also be starting active ageing centres by 2025 to help the elderly. Angela Yang, Director, Professional & Education Development at PCF explains what kind of transition do our preschoolers need to prepare for.
