Parenting Workshop (in Malay)
Date : 21st April 2007

Conducted by Mr Abdul Halim ,Director Research & Policy in Mendaki

Brief Synopsis of workshop:

Globalisation has both the positives and negatives. It provides opportunities for those with talents and skills needed in the current knowledge-based environments. It creates uncertainties for those without the necessary skills and knowledge in the modern world. Who are the workers of this new knowledge-based economy?
Our education system has gone through various changes over the last 5 years to respond to these globalisation challenges. There are different pathways towards educational excellence for all-both in academic and non-academic fields. The aim is to maximise the potential of every student, We are aiming for mountain ranges , not a pinnacle. Do parents understand these changes and their implications for them and their children? What must parents do, especially in laying a very strong foundation at the pre-school and primary levels?
