If this proves successful, then 5 year- olds in the territory could go to school all day instead of for a half a day. This impacts the pressure on ECE centres to take children for half days, and helps parents with daycare. The children however benefit most with access to learning in a school setting and social opportunities with peers!

I think this gave so much impact to our first language in different ways. I hope this never happens again in the future.
