Student Care Centers
Student Care Centers (SCCs) deliver guidance or care for school-going kids of 7 years (Primary 1) up to 14 years (Secondary 2).
SCCs offer very constructive supervision to nurture kid’s overall learning within many spheres – sports, reasoning, mental, social, even moral sensibilities, also additionally provide some supervision or guidance to juniors after school hours.
Student Care Centers deliver some care and guidance to kids before these begin primary school, or help employed parents with offering care, supervision to the school-going kids.
Student care programs cover supervising the kid’s schoolwork, supervised play, supervised study, or leisure time. Certain centers arrange excursion visits or camps for kids when school holidays start.
Student care outlets within schools
Starting from 2008, previous-Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports stated that MCYS (presently known as Ministry for Social and Family Development) could contact the Education Ministry to raise the full count of school-based SCCs.
School-based SCCs deliver some basic form of care assistance to school-going kids after school hours in some safe and trusted settings.
School-based center may boost care delivery or supervision as the kids proceed immediately from the classes over to SCC in their school, cutting students’ skipping classes or possibility of getting lost upon commuting from school to SCC found beyond school grounds.
With some applied effort, many kids from ‘high risk’ homes might possibly get kept away safely from bad company or help to ease the potential, highly present risks of dropping out from school altogether.

Committed spaces to train inclusive of the reading section, multimedia cubicles with computers may get seen inside the day-care.
Several after school outlets could even provide recreation spaces holding board games, mini football, or mini basketball hoops.
Beyond these considerations, School-based SCCs remain alternatively filled holding students’ crafts or as extension allows, could alternatively get the independent private comfy reading space.
These then can use school’s amenities inclusive of outdoor field, kid’s hall or basketball grounds for staging sports competitions or play with mates.
Meals
School-based SCCs remain confined to just provided canteen vendors or catering food.
