AN EDUCATION services provider will be setting up six more student care centres in primary schools by the end of next year to meet growing demand for structured after-school programmes for children.

Cambridge Resources Singapore director Joanne Fernandez-Tang, whose company runs a centre at Sembawang Primary, said more schools and parents are seeing the benefits of having in-house centres which provide quality after-school programmes.

Pupils do not need to travel to the centre. They also get help to improve their grades as the centre's programme is aligned with the school curriculum.
