Play-based learning will be extended to Primary 4 pupils in 2024.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung and Mr Roland Ng, chairman of CDAC's Board of Trustees, at the council's 32nd annual general meeting.
Play- and activity-based learning has helped 89 Primary 1 to Primary 3 pupils since it was piloted in 2022, and will be expanded to Primary 4 pupils in financial year 2024. CDAC executive director Tan Yap Kin said the focus in 2023 was on strengthening support for beneficiaries and providing quality programmes.
CDAC said play-based learning, incorporated in its tuition programmes, helped the pupils conduct self-directed and collaborative learning. CDAC has other educational initiatives to help pupils from low-income families, such as a long-term mentoring programme, focusing on developing socio-emotional competencies. The programme is helping 52 children in their transition from primary school to post-secondary.
