By the end of 2024, early childhood educators in Singapore will receive additional support through a new relief staff pool being developed by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA). This initiative aims to alleviate staffing pressures in pre-schools by providing a pool of trained relief staff to cover absences due to training, emergencies, or maternity leave. The new relief staff pool will be available to all 1,900 licensed pre-schools in Singapore, helping them manage staffing needs more effectively and reduce educator stress. The ECDA will appoint service providers by the end of 2024 and will collaborate with them to expand the pool, ensuring reliable and qualified support for pre-schools.
