我觉得政府的用意就在于此啊，这些钱最终是要流到幼儿园的。政府给出的这些钱，目的就是间接的补贴幼儿园。Waiting list变长是暂时的，也是相对的。一共就是那么多孩子，这个幼儿园的人多了，那个幼儿园就会少。中档幼儿园以后需求更高，那就会扩大规模。
如果直接补贴幼儿园，就没有针对性的补贴低收入人群了。直接补贴幼儿园，不可能只补贴抵挡，必要各个档次都照顾到。而其实高收入人群不需要补贴。这样把钱以补助形式直接给目标人群，拉小各收入阶层的预算。极端一点的例子，幼儿园全部涨价。那么幼儿园就可以用这些钱改善师资。如果幼儿园不涨价，那很便宜的幼儿园更没有多很多人愿意去了，最后关门。留下的是有一定硬件保障的幼儿园。更多孩子进入中档幼儿园，整体上提高了学前教育的水平。
所以虽说新加坡不像高福利国家生育，学前教育都免费，但是算上ｂａｂｙ ｂｏｎｕｓ，一个普通家庭的孩子并不需要花很多钱。
大部分中产阶级不生更多小孩是因为房子车子贵，双职工家庭照顾小孩精力有限，不是因为多了这100，200的补助吧。
现在国内幼儿园比起这里贵多了，我家旁边一个算普通的幼儿园一个月要1500人民币。家长一个人收入也就在3000左右。新加坡1500新币的就是高端的了。
PCF和MFS是学前教育anchor operator
应该没有比PCF更低端的了吧。。。PCF貌似不会走上被淘汰的路。
Anchor operators are non-profit operators who also receive a recurrent grant to defray the cost of recruiting and developing teachers, to provide affordable and quality childcare for the mass market.
Currently, there are two anchor operators - the PAP Community Foundation (PCF) and National Trades Union Congress' (NTUC) My First Skool. They are tasked with providing good-quality and affordable programmes. In return, they receive recurrent grants from the Government to help lower operating costs.
Non-profit, anchor operators such as the PAP Community Foundation (PCF) and National Trades Union Congress' My First Skool get development grants to set up centres in HDB areas and enjoy subsidised rental rates.
所以是有直接津贴的。
