To provide education, eradicate poverty and promote harmony & prosperity in Malaysia among the different ethnic groups. 1. VISION

Malaysia – Ethnic Diversity and multilingualism. Population as at 2007 is 27,170,000 (Source: Department of Statistics). 80% live in Peninsula Malaysia and 20% in Sabah and Sarawak. Bumiputera – 61.47% Chinese – 23.55% Indian – 7% Foreign – 6.75% 1. VISION (con’t)

Pre-school Education and Childcare Centres. The Education Act 1996 (Act 550) provides that the programmes of kindergarten activities must be based on the curriculum guidelines adopted by the MOE. The 9 th Malaysia Plan has the objective of extending pre-school education to ALL children between the ages of 5 & 6 by the year However, as of date only 42% is ACHIEVED. 1. VISION (con’t)

In the case of childcare centres, there is NO Government programme providing for generalized access on an equitable basis. However, there do exist various projects promoted by various different governmental agencies, that seek to provide a childcare service but they are far from covering the total population in need. 1. VISION (con’t)

An UN Report on the right of Education in Malaysia takes the view that the Government of Malaysia needs to :  REDOUBLE its effort to ensure that ALL children have access both to pre-school and childcare centres and should BEAR THE COST of both services, in order to prevent certain children from being excluded from pre-school education as a result of economic and social inequalities. 1. VISION (con’t)

 In particular, special attention should be paid _ to pre-school schooling of POOR CHILDREN living in the URBAN AREAS who seem to have fewer opportunities for access to pre-school education.  Pay special attention to the LIMITED access to pre-school education for children living in the states of Sabah and Sarawak, particularly in rural areas which is now of great concern. 1. VISION (con’t)
