Nearly 1,000 made switch to early childhood education sector from Jan 2020 to Jun 2022

Early childhood education was one of the three most popular sectors among those in Singapore last year looking to make a mid-career switch. That's according to Workforce Singapore, which helps with career transitions. While the majority of these applicants were below the age of 40, some teachers said the industry may benefit from more mature hires. Close to 1,000 made the switch to the early childhood education sector from January 2020 to June 2022.

Editor's note: This video says close to 1,000 people made the switch to the early childhood education sector in 2021. It should be from January 2020 to June 2022 instead. We apologise for the error.

In April 2015, a month after his father’s passing, Singapore’s current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong noted that his father did not care for monuments. He had said in Parliament: “Mr Lee made it very clear throughout his life that he did not need and did not want any monument… Mr Lee was very careful never to allow a personality cult to grow around him, much less to encourage one himself.”

Oddly, the Government commissioned a committee to look into developing a Founders’ Memorial two months after Lee Hsien Loong and Lee Wei Ling noted their father’s dislike for monuments, in June 2015.
