A Teachers' Day Message from ECDA Chief Executive Officer
The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) wishes all our Early Childhood Educators a Happy Teachers' Day!
Dear Early Childhood Educators,
In his National Day Rally this year, PM Lee shared about the Government’s latest plans to invest in the early childhood sector.
This is the second time in five years that PM has spoken about early childhood in his National Day Rally. It reflects our growing appreciation of the important work that you do every day, to strengthen the foundation and shape the life course of our youngest children.
Last year, ECDA launched the Early Childhood Manpower Plan to create meaningful and rewarding careers for our teachers. As part of this plan, we called on all preschools to provide their teachers a day off on Teachers’ Day to acknowledge their important contributions. We are delighted to share that almost all preschools have responded to this call.
This Teachers’ Day, ECDA has also lined up a series of initiatives to celebrate our early childhood educators. This is our small way of saying thank you. Keep a lookout for our #3cheers4teachers initiatives through Beanstalk Facebook Page, Grow@Beanstalk website, ECDA YouTube Channel and other platforms.
A very Happy Teachers’ Day to all of you!
Eugene Leong
Chief Executive Officer
Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA)
