Every Child Can Succeed, Given the Right Opportunities

In order for lower income families to break free of the poverty trap, Ms Indranee Rajah made a proposal requesting for infant, child and student care facilities and tuition centres within the precincts of rental homes. Ms Indranee highlighted the importance of preschool and primary education and observed that "because if they do not level up by Primary 6, then in many cases it will already be too late."

Ms Indranee is noted that if a child does not improve by Primary 6, it will be late. This is what we have been advocating. Building a strong foundation at the primary level is key to success. We support Ms Indranee's initiative.
