HRnetGroup Ltd. (HRNET:SP), a Singapore-based recruitment firm, announced 30 March that its RecruitFirst Pte. Ltd. subsidiary won another four-year contract to run the “Focus Language Assistance in Reading” programme, known as Flair, for Singapore’s Ministry of Education. The contract runs from this year through 2025.

The programme provides language assistance to children in Kindergarten 2 at up to 400 pre-school centres across Singapore. Contractors deployed by RecruitFirst conduct the lessons. The company said the programme benefits up to 4,000 children each year.

HRnetGroup has been working with the Ministry of Education on the programme since 2018.

“Children are our most important human resource for our future,” said Jacelyn Chua, group business leader of RecruitFirst. “The Flair programme is a meaningful partnership for RecruitFirst, as we continue to work with the ministry to lift up children who are lagging behind in their command of the English Language, to prepare them well for future learning before they enter primary school.”
