Educators who support young children with developmental needs will receive higher salaries in the coming years.
These professionals, known as early intervention educators, will see an increase of about 3 per cent to 16 per cent per year in their annual pay package over the next three years, said Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli on April 26. This will come in the form of monthly salary increases, performance bonuses and other variable payments.
The move comes on the back of the Education Ministry announcing higher salaries for special education teachers, and the Government ramping up early intervention programmes, which include developmental, therapy and education support, for children.
Mr Masagos said the salary increases are meant to help the sector attract and retain talent. He was speaking at the Early Intervention Conference organised by 10 Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (Eipic) providers, held at Marina Bay Sands.
