Child Safety Education – an educational programme targeting children at young age aimed at grooming road safety values at grassroots level to promote a positive road safety culture. The initiative is driven using 1) Mobile Children Traffic School, and 2) School Visits and Presentations.

Mobile Children Traffic School

The Mobile Children Traffic School (MCTS) is a flagship program aimed at instilling a culture of road safety among primary school going children. The MCTS uses a combination of theoretical lessons and a simulation of real-time traffic scenarios in a child friendly environment, to empower children to detect the presence of traffic, to have visual timing judgements and to coordinate information from different directions. Promotion of child safety education is vital because children will take these attitudes and practices into adulthood to make them better road users. The Fund arranges with schools across the country to take this service to the respective schools. Some schools do reach. The Fund further uses its road safety promotion vehicles to make road safety message announcements within school environments to constantly remind scholars of their need to always be cautious on the road.

In order, to inculcate a culture of road safety among children the Fund through the Community Road Safety Grant Scheme encourages pre-primary, primary and secondary schools to formulate school road safety clubs. The Fund provides technical and financial support to schools to enable them to undertake activities such as scholar patrols, assembly presentations, school road environment inspections, school bus operators meetings and road safety day commemorations.
