A NEW fast-track course in kindergarten education will be launched this year to attract quality pre-school teachers and raise standards in the sector.
Education Minister Ng Eng Hen said in Parliament on Tuesday that the new 10-month Advanced Diploma in Kindergarten-Teaching (Adket) developed by Singapore Polytechnic will provide 'much needed teachers to raise the quality of pre-school education.'
Targeted at mid-career entrants and fresh graduates, the new course, which starts in April, focuses on curriculum knowledge and teaching methods. It can be completed in about half the period of time of most full-time early childhood education diplomas at the polytechnics.
