Mr Sufiyan Nur Hakim Suki, an English teacher at the PCF Sparkletots centre in Pasir Ris West, engages the pre-schoolers through games as well as role-playing and other activities. Having teachers of both genders is an opportunity to address any gender stereotypes the children may have, he says.

When pre-school English teacher Sufiyan Nur Hakim Suki was conducting a role-playing activity in class, some of the boys wanted to be chefs but were stopped by a few girls.
That is a job for girls, the boys were told, said Mr Sufiyan, 25, who teaches at the PAP Community Foundation's (PCF) Sparkletots centre at Block 738 Pasir Ris West.
