The government has proposed setting up improved preschools for children of M40 families.
“Elite preschools would not be able to produce good students if the teachers are not equipped with the needed skills set to shape the children during the early years of learning,” she said.“All kindergartens, be it elite or not, have the same curriculum approved by the national kindergarten association. The only differences are how creative a teacher can be to execute their lessons.”
Chiam, who founded the early childhood education programmes at the University of Malaya, said the preschool proposal would give the impression that B40 children do not have the equal opportunity to succeed in life, widening the education gap between the two groups. “Kemas should make sure all teachers in their centre are well trained,” she said adding that more staff should be employed in the centres to cater to the needs of the children.
Simply put, we need better education system
