1 in 3 preschool educators does not have formal training in child protection: Study
A study has found that one in three preschool educators in Singapore does not have formal training in child protection. They are also not confident in managing suspected child abuse cases. The online survey by the Singapore Children's Society from December 2024 to June 2025 gathered the responses of 357 preschool educators. The findings follow an independent review on the fatal abuse of four-year-old Megan Khung.
