@mothershipsg: Senior Minister of State for Social and Family Development Goh Pei Ming shared the government’s plans to strengthen Singapore’s infant care workforce during a Teachers’ Day celebration at E-Bridge Pre-School at Sumang Lane on Aug. 28. Goh said demand for infant care is expected to rise as services become more affordable and accessible. He added that the sector aims to recruit 1,800 more infant care educators by 2030, while the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) will expand hiring and training support from September 2026. #mothershipnews

The government seems to focus a lot on supporting preschool operators, preschool centres, grants for families and encouraging more people to join the infant care and preschool sector. But are they really looking at and understanding the difficulties that preschool and infant care teachers face on the ground? Yes, you want to recruit more teachers, but why are there so many teachers leaving the sector in the first place? We are dealing with manpower shortages, high teacher child ratios, heavy workloads, burnout, stress, challenging parent interactions and a lack of support from management. If we genuinely want to attract and retain more educators, we need to go to the root of the problem first. Listen to the teachers who are actually working on the ground, understand what they are going through, and address the working conditions. Only then can we meaningfully talk about recruiting more teachers and achieving all the other goals mentioned above.

get from WHERE? as an 8th year teacher, i wanna quit already with the low pay to which I cannot use to save coz I'm living salary to salary. paper work never ending because ratio is crazy (I have 19 N2s) have to bring work home despite the no work on Saturdays. the prospect to continue working in the preschool sector is not so good. I'm even talking off to some of my younger relatives of the CONs of working here that the PROs.

You need to raise the pay of these preschool teachers! Those lower income have their fees $10-$30 for childcare while the middle income still pays few hundreds monthly but as a parent, preschool teachers deserves higher pay for the workload that they have. @goh.pei.ming
