Back to School with Dad encourages fathers to be more involved in their children’s schooling journey

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 28 December 2021 – Fathers from over 120 pre-schools, primary and secondary schools as well as institutes of higher learning will be participating in the Back to School with Dad initiative for the next academic year in 2022. Among these, fathers from 93 schools are taking part in Back to School with Dad for the first time.

 

Organised by Centre for Fathering, MUMs for Life and DADs for Life, in partnership with Families for Life and in support of the Made For Families initiative, Back to School with Dad aims to encourage fathers to play a more active role in their children’s schooling journey.

 

Through the initiative, which began in 2006, fathers are encouraged to take time out from work to accompany their children to school in the first two days of the new school year and send them notes of encouragement so as to ease them in . The dates for Back to School with Dad 2022 are 4 and 5 January 2022.

 

In previous years, hard copy Back to School with Dad cards were disseminated to the schools for fathers to pen notes for their children. Due to COVID-19 restrictions affecting logistics of cards distribution, this year’s Back to School with Dad has gone virtual! Fathers (and mothers) can download the card templates from the Back to School with Dad web page and personalise a note of encouragement to be printed out and placed into the children’s lunchbox or school bags so that their children can be pleasantly surprised during recess or sent to their children’s mobile phones for the older children.

 

” Research* shows that when fathers are engaged in children’s education, their children perform better academically and are better able to adapt to their schooling journey emotionally and socially. They are also less likely to drop out and exhibit undesirable behaviour in school. Helping my children get ready for the new school year – from purchasing shoes to getting hairs cuts – and sending them to school regularly, is my way of forming precious memories with them in their growing up years ,” said Mr Bryan Tan, CEO, Centre for Fathering, MUMs for Life and DADs for Life. “We hope that many more fathers and schools will appreciate the importance of a father’s involvement in his child’s schooling journey and pledge their support towards the Back to School with Dad initiative.”

 

“Showing love and commitment to our family are the values that Families for Life holds dear. Being personally involved in our child’s key milestones is very important so we hope more fathers will commit their time to accompany their children to school on their first day. This intimate time together will be a precious memory that both father and child will remember fondly for many years to come”, shared Families for Life Council Chairman, Mr Ishak Ismail. As a Champion of MSF’s Alliance for Action Focal Area 1, Mr Ishak Ismail also supports parents in their journey by strengthening engagement and awareness of parenting programmes, resources and support groups in the community, as that would build stronger family relationships, for life.

 

Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman, Second Minister for Education, said, ” Parenting has changed through the years in several ways, and the role of fathers in the family is becoming more important, especially throughout their schooling years. Gone are the days where fathers are regarded as feared disciplinarians in the family. Today’s fathers must connect emotionally with their children and provide unconditional love to their children.  

 

It is heartening to see fathers today, more actively involved in their children’s lives. This contributes to the child’s emotional health, overall wellness, social development and self-respect. As fathers, we play a unique role in our child’s life and make a significant difference in shaping their self-esteem, character and values.

 

As a father myself, I try to have regular and open communication with my children to understand them and let them know that I am always there for them. Being present during their key milestones like sports day or drama performance is critical as it tells our children that they are important that we will set aside time for them.”

 

Dr Maliki added, “Through the Back to School with Dad initiative, we hope to remind fathers to be more involved in their children’s schooling journey. Especially, on a day to day basis. Support your child’s schooling journey by helping them prepare for school, sending them to school when school re-opens and being involved in the school by volunteering in DADs for Life Father Groups. This promotes stronger father-child bonding. It also strengthens the relationship with the school, increasing the child’s confidence attending school.

 

I look forward to seeing more fathers be involved in their children’s journey and make time to send their children to school and to write notes of encouragement to them on a regular basis and not just only on the first few days of school. Be inspired to make your father-child interaction more achievable, enjoyable and celebrated in the community.”

 

Fathers prepare children for school  

Mr Joshua Wee, a father of four children aged 6 to 14 who works in human resource, said that it is important for him to be involved in his children’s schooling journey as that makes memories father and child can look back together in future. He said, “I hope that my involvement in their current schooling journey will lead them to be as involved in their own children’s journey in the future. Watching my children grow up, developing their own character and finding their own way is so fascinating. Parenting is a journey made so much more enjoyable if we are involved.”

 

For his youngest child who is going to primary one in 2022, Mr Wee will prepare him with “dry runs” at the coffeeshop buying his own food and teach him how to count his pocket money.

 

Senior engineer Mr Tun Tun plays an active role in guiding his daughter, who is heading to secondary one in 2022, on her education pathways. Recently, he discussed secondary school options with her after the release of the PSLE results to better understand her preferences. He said, “Everybody needs someone who can guide them to improve their lives and careers, and this person can be the father or the mother. The father or mother is the most important person to their children and is the first role model for them.”

Razer Merchant Services, the First Merchant Acquirer to Enable DuitNow QR, Cross-Border QR & Online Banking/Wallets for Merchants

Razer Merchant Services is the first Merchant Acquirer to enable PayNet’s Real-Time Retail Payments Platform (RPP) full suite of payment methods to its merchants to accept domestic and cross-border QR payments.

SHAH ALAM, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 28 December 2021 – Razer Merchant Services (RMS), the B2B arm of Razer Fintech, today announces it has become the first Merchant Acquirer to enable all three channels for PayNet’s Real-time Payments Platform, DuitNow. The payment channels include DuitNow QR, Cross-Border QR payments, and DuitNow Online Banking/Wallets, which RMS has enabled for online e-commerce and offline physical merchants.

QR enabled payments are experiencing unprecedented momentum in emerging markets and are accelerating movements away from cash in the ‘new normal’, according to a report by McKinsey & Company. Currently, the widely accepted DuitNow QR Codes are limited to local participating banks’ e-wallets, while Cross-Border QR codes with DuitNow QR will enable real-time instant payments for retail and e-commerce merchants based in Malaysia from tourists using their respective foreign banks or e-wallets applications. RMS merchants can expect a further extension of their business’ reach as cross-border payment linkages with surrounding Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Singapore are scheduled after Thailand.

“Razer Fintech and our B2B arm, RMS, are excited to be the first Merchant Acquirer to enable all three Duitnow payment channels, further cementing our leadership in delivering new payment product features, in partnership with Paynet. We are very proud to enable these developments with PayNet’s Real-time Payments Platform for our regional and global merchants from both online and offline verticals. In times where physical contact needs to be limited, these developments will accelerate payment conversions and will be an effective contactless alternative to cash payments for both merchants and customers.” said Lee Li Meng, CEO of Razer Fintech.

“PayNet is delighted to have Razer Merchant Services as our DuitNow QR participant. RMS is among the earliest to adopt cross-border QR payments. With its large base in Malaysia, we are confident RMS’ merchants will reap more benefits of going cashless once cross-border QR payments acceptance from foreign visitors is enabled.” said PayNet Malaysia’s Director of Retail Payments Services, Mr. Khairuan Abdul Rahman.

One of RMS’ merchants, Doctor2U, will vastly benefit from Cross-Border QR with DuitNow QR when accepting payments from foreign visitors into Malaysia. Doctor2U, who is BP Healthcare Group’s homegrown technology arm, had previously set up a state-of-the-art Covid-19 screening facility at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) with a capacity of screening 45,000 travelers daily.

As digital payments accelerate, local customers can also look forward to a better customer experience with DuitNow Online Banking/Wallets. The service provides a more seamless e-commerce or m-commerce check out experience by enabling simple redirection to customers’ Online Banking or e-wallets app​ where instant payments can be made with over 40 Banks and e-wallets on board with more expected to join by the first half of 2022. DuitNow Online Banking/Wallets will be a development to link online banking and e-wallets to provide convenience for customers on merchant applications, through application-to-application payment verifications and significantly reduce payment friction and cart abandonments.

RMS aims to enable 3,000 physical offline acceptance points with DuitNow QR and Cross-Border payments with DuitNow QR by 2022. In the same period, RMS will onboard 1,000 online merchants with the full suite of DuitNow QR, Cross-Border QR, and DuitNow Online Banking/Wallets through a simple Application Programming Interface (API) integration with RMS. The DuitNow payment solutions will enable businesses to accept payments with just a single unified QR that allows interoperability between participating banks and e-wallets.
