SINGAPORE – The majority of children from families on a new scheme to give low-income households a leg-up did not attend pre-school regularly.
A total of 9,153 families, out of 13,871 families living in highly subsidised HDB rental flats that were approached, have joined the ComLink+ scheme as of December 2023. Overall, 42 per cent of them were considered stable. This means that they have met all the indicators used to measure stability, including enrolling their children in pre-school and being in stable employment.
However, only 2 per cent of families on the ComLink+ scheme have bought a flat and moved out of public rental housing. So her family coach, Mr Alex Chia, linked her up with two undergraduates who read to Zaleb regularly and teach him English. Mr Chia also referred her to the KidStart programme, which supports children from lower-income families in areas such as their learning and growth.
