Efforts to reduce education stress are among the recommendations expected in the next phase of Singapore's marriage and parenthood reset. Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Indranee Rajah says the review will also look into fertility and maternal health, as well as work-life balance. While the link between education stress and parenthood has not been explored, Dr Mathew Mathews, Head of the Social Lab at the Institute of Policy Studies at NUS, shares how education can add to the pressures of parenthood, as parents want to do right by their children - even as more focus on holistic development. He shares his thoughts on what needs to be done to reduce the pressures.
