SINGAPORE: Children of ex-offenders will receive free tuition through a new bursary scheme launched on Friday.
This was announced at the office opening of the Industrial & Services Co-operative Society (ISCOS) by Minister of State for Home Affairs and Education, Masagos Zulkifli.
The pilot project is sponsored by law firm Baker & McKenzie Wong & Leow.
Under it, children of ten ex-offenders who are members of ISCOS will receive professional tuition for English and Mathematics.
Kent Ridge Tutors is supporting the initiative while lawyers and staff of Baker & McKenzie will act as mentors during the entire project.
ISCOS also acknowledged their key programme sponsors last year who supported initiatives for ex-offenders and their families.
They are the Lee Foundation, NETS, First Media Design School, Ricoh and New Creation Church.
