High-ability enrichment centres see rise in demand
High-ability enrichment centres say they are seeing a rise in demand, with enquiries for courses like the Math Olympiad going up at least 20 per cent every year, and with younger students participating, including pre-schoolers. Some parents are nurturing their child's interest from a younger age, as the Education Ministry's programme for higher ability learners begins only from Primary 4. Other parents hope to help their children get a headstart in life. Alxis Thng reports.
