Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 6: Melvin Yong on preschools
Preschool education is an important formative experience for young children but preschoolers from lower-income families face more challenges in getting a good start in life, said MP Melvin Yong. Speaking in Parliament on Friday (Mar 3), he wanted to know what more the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) can do to assure parents of accessible and affordable support in their children's early years. He also asked MSF for an update on the manpower situation in the preschool sector, as well as the salary review for early childhood educators in Government preschools.
