      insider:

      To pay the much higher rent and higher salaries of centres...
      Ya la, everything in spore is going up except our wages.
      That's why I say they should include preschooling as formal education then govt can give a much more subsidized fee. All prices r gg up becos if u want to increase the standard of the preschool teachers, u need them to be more qualified. Higher qualification means higher pay. Low pay means high turnover. No high pay, no graduates will stay in childcare. Haiz.. Govt increase subsidy but not enuff. Money not enough 😢

        Hi,


        I think higher pay does not mean the good staff committed and will not take mc as what the other messages have been mentioned. Even more subsidized or formal education for preschooling will still would not cause the effect.

        If our pay goes up, everything in the market will increased double. My thinking.

        It still boils down children is our responsibility and commitment.

          Just hoping government will give more subsidy for childcare and at the same time childcare don’t shoot up again when this happens.

            Usually if the teacher has passion in teaching will not take unnecessary leaves unless is really necessary. Eg. kids sick or some home emergency. If they have children of their own, is understandable or else I can’t think of any other things which need to take frequent leave. Best is ocassionally communicate with the teacher.

              Hi monster mummy, I think u got my intentions wrong. The reason y I suggested preschool to be included as formal education is so that govt can take a bigger role. It’s a fact that many preschool teachers are throwing in the towel becos of the low pay. With preschool under MOE, the teachers get a better pay n benefits. More fundings to upgrade themselves. Happier teachers = happier children. And hopefully the teachers get more recognition too. There will also be a more standardized preschools across the country. Y doesn’t ah gong wants to include preschooling as formal education? Preschool years is very essential too.

                Hi,


                Even though that your intention with pre-school as formal education, it will still be the same situation as primary school teacher has progressively increased in pay. But there bound to have teacher leaving service every year and does not


                If i did not remember wrongly, the government has been looking at making pre-schooling a formal education. But there are no further information after that.

                As now my understanding for PAP kindergarten, they encourage less writing and more play.
