These days, SDP has taken over from WP to do the crowing. From helping workers to early childhood education, PAP is following SDP's ideas, CSJ claimed!
And so CSJ claimed that PM Lee copied his ideas on early childhood education.
Unfortunately for Chee Soon Juan and SDP, their ideas came two years late. ...
Before SDP put out their ideas in 2015, then Education Minister Heng Swee Keat had already announced in MARCH 2013 a review of the education system and in particular, the launch of MOE pilot kindergartens to set the curriculum, and the quality and standard for pre-school education across Singapore.
1st APRIL 2013:
The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) was officially launched to oversee the whole pre-school sector, to bring together all ministries involved with playschool (MOE, MSF etc) and to work with operators to make sure everything works well.
KiFAS was launched which subsidises kindergarten fees up to 99% depending on the financial background of the family.
In addition to KiFAS there is also a SUG (Start up grant) which provides additional assistance to needy families to pay for items such as registration fee, insurance, deposit, uniforms, material fees, supplementary fees, etc.
Things did not happen overnight. So much had been done by the time Chee Soon Juan put up his paper in 2015 which, incidentally, contained many bad ideas.
