After school care to be doubled

The junior education minister told parliament that she would double the amount of after school programs from 8,000 to 16,000 by April 1.

I think that this is a great initiative to be taking, but is it really feasible in just five months? It seems to me like they would need more time.

After school programs are in need, I think all over the world. Because of globalization there are these huge corporations emerging, and they are employing parents. WHy shouldn't the companies provide after school care for children? If they want the parents to be willing to stay at work longer in the day, it would make sense to have child care available and cost effective to get parents to stay at work without having the stress of having to get there child into after school care.
