Early Childhood Education

92.         Early childhood education is an integral part of youth development.  The Committee on Free Kindergarten Education is studying practical ways to implement three-year free kindergarten education, and plans to submit its recommendations next year.  To alleviate the financial burden of kindergarten education on parents, the Government will increase the voucher value of the Pre-primary Education Voucher Scheme by $2,500 per year for two consecutive school years in 2014/15 and 2015/16.  We will also lift the fee remission ceiling to help needy families.
