PCF looking at giving priority to citizen kids

One of the largest preschool players here, the PAP Community Foundation (PCF), is looking into whether its admission policy should be tweaked to favour citizens over permanent residents (PRs).

A PCF spokesman said it was reviewing its admission policy, following the Education Ministry's changes last month to the registration scheme for children entering Primary 1.

PCF declined, however, to divulge details of how its admission scheme may be changed, but said that it has generally aligned its education policies with those of the Government.

PCF, which charges fees that are a fraction of those in commercial preschools, now runs 242 kindergartens and 81 childcare centres, attended by nearly 50,000 children. In all, eight in 10 of these attendees are Singaporeans, and the remainder, PRs and foreigners.
