Goh Pei Ming on transparency about safety violations in pre-schools
In cases of serious safety violations in pre-schools, the Early Childhood Development Agency releases statements on the incidents and enforcement actions taken. It does not generally name the pre-schools, to ensure that the identities of children involved are protected, especially when gag orders are imposed in court proceedings. Parents can make informed decisions about pre-schools by considering their licence tenure, which is an indication of their quality and performance. Minister of State for Social and Family Development Goh Pei Ming said this in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 4) in response to an MP’s questions.
