Abstract
Beyond School Hours is a feature that uncovers the importance of student care in Singapore education. The demand for school-based and community-based student care centres (SCCs) providing care and supervision to school-going children has increased over the last few years. With a demand for more student care services, the feature exposes the business of SCCs as parents and operators fight for a share of the pie, exploring issues like the rise of school-based SCCs and the keen competition in the heartlands. It also sheds light on how student care has evolved in the market through minimal governmental involvement and the diversity of needs it addresses.
