Key Objectives
Empowering vulnerable children for an active and meaningful participation in society is at the heart of the FLE National Programme. The key objectives of the Programme include:
- Improving school readiness and academic competence by implementing Brain-Based Education (BBE) inspired, learner-centred remedial education to support literacy, numeracy and socio-emotional learning
- Enhancing access of vulnerable children in poverty areas to quality early childhood care and education
- Increasing parental engagement to support the education and holistic development of their children
- Upgrading the learning environment in poor-performing schools
Interventions
The FLE National Programme focuses on reinforcing literacy and numeracy, life skills as well as the social and emotional wellbeing of vulnerable children at 5 Key Stages (KS) of their development: 3 months – 3 years, 3 – 5 years, 5 – 8 years, 8 – 12 years and 12 – 16 years.
Interventions under the Programme are based on a continuum of care and support provided to 1,800 children starting from crèches, pre-primary, primary to the secondary Extended Programme.
