Prioritising Holistic Child Development in Singapore – The Time is Now

EveryChild.SG is a movement to prioritise holistic child development in Singapore.

Every child deserves to grow up in a loving, safe and nurturing environment, supported to develop into a confident, capable, and well-rounded individual.

In Singapore today, children face growing pressures – from an overly competitive education system, the influence of screens and social media, or a lack of time for free play and exploration. These challenges affect their mental health, resilience, and overall well-being. At EveryChild.SG, our work is driven by the belief that every child should be supported to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Why Singapore Must Prioritise Child Development Now

How we parent, how schools nurture learning, how society treats children, and how parents/ caregivers are supported, all play a role in shaping children’s futures.

There is currently no single government ministry responsible for the overall well-being and development of children, and support for their caregivers, from a child’s birth to adulthood. This has led to gaps in support and piecemeal improvements.

It is time for a more coordinated, high-level focus on prioritising child development as a national goal.

The future will only be more diverse and trying to prepare them with hard skills far into the future is futile. Children need to learn how to learn, build resilience, curiosity, creativity, problem solving skills, self regulation, and so many more soft skills. These can hardly be tested in a national examination. Children will shine if we give them time to explore their strengths and nurture them. They are not all the same and should not feel any less because they cannot score in the narrow confines of a certain number of subjects.

Reading the well-researched, well-thought-through White Paper was enlightening. I realise as an educator, I’m part of the problem. I want to learn how to do better in the way I teach children as well as how I communicate to and about them. Thank you for your bravery, perseverance and heart in advocating for these necessary changes that will impact us all and indeed every precious soul of a Singapore child.

Congrats for pulling this together. I have 2 boys in local school. One does well while the other struggles despite a ton of extra tuition. I spend my time helping senior business leaders get future-ready, and I think we should be doing the same (effort and $$) for our next generation.

For a society that values education so much, it is shocking that our class sizes are still so large. Bringing the resources from the private tuition sector back into the public system instead, can also help to level the playing field for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Please look into support for neurodivergent students. I have been to dozens of school counselors and school recommended psychologists, and my ADHD was only diagnosed in adulthood

I would like my child to be an all rounder and not just excel academically. Every child is unique in their own way and a cookie cutter curriculum (only type of curriculum that works in a class of 40 students) will not be able to unleash the full potential of each child

Thanks for the great initiative. I truly believe parents who have realised our education system does not benefit our children’s well-being need to voice out and be consistent and persistent in order for change to happen.
Keep it up!

We should be moving towards a truly inclusive education where individualised learning plans are the norm for every child. This will benefit both neurotypical and neurodiverse children and optimise their potential in an inclusive setting.

I would love to have my children coming back from school telling me how wonderful their lessons were instead of the amount of homework the teachers are giving them to complete. Classroom teaching and homework was what we all experiences 40 over years ago.

Surely the educational system should change to meet with times.
