Over the past three years, educators’ salaries in government-supported preschools have increased by around 20% on average.

There is an ongoing salary review for Early Childhood (EC) educators which we expect to complete in the 4th quarter of 2022. The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) intends to work with government-supported operators to implement the changes from 2023 onwards. The review will ensure our educators’ salaries are commensurate with their contributions and professional skills, while being competitive enough to attract and retain talent in the sector.
