Singapore: To offer both parents and educators with a better idea of how much and what children need to learn by the end of Kindergarten 2, an updated version of the Kindergarten Curriculum Framework has been unveiled.
Launched by the Ministry of Education(MOE) on Wednesday, the refreshed framework was drawn up in consultation with early childhood experts, primary and pre-school educators.
It gives a sharper focus on the learning outcomes of pre-school education, such as a child's ability to count up to 10, ask simple questions and respond confidently by the time they go to Primary One.
It also emphasises the need to build confidence and social skills during the pre-school years and to prepare children for lifelong learning.
The changes come amid recent concerns on how much and how far parents should prepare their children for Primary One.
The new framework will be distributed to all kindergartens and childcare centres.
