UIAM Educare Permata Kindergarten Gets RM666,345 From Permata


KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 (Bernama) -- The Permata programme allocates RM663,345 to the Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) Educare Permata kindergarten to implement the Permata curriculum and upgrade learning facilities there, the Prime Minister's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor said Thursday.

She said teachers at the kindergarten would be sent for a four-week basic Permata course at UIAM to enable them to implement the Permata curriculum more effectively.

Rosmah, who is National Permata Policy Executive Committee chairman, said the move was to prove the government's commitment in providing better and comprehensive early education and care for children.

She said this in her speech when opening the UIAM Educare Permata kindergarten and presentation of education aid from the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) at the UIAM campus in Gombak, near here.

At the function, Rosmah, who is also Bakti president, presented a cheque for RM10,000 to UIAM students.

According to her, until October this year, Bakti had contributed RM1.17 million in bursaries for poor students.
