Kota Kinabalu: Giving high quality education during a child’s early years gives them the best start in life.
“There’s a common saying that a child’s job is to play. It is through playtime, a critical component of education in which a child learns the skills of negotiation, problem solving, sharing and working in groups,” said member of Pasok Momogun Women’s Tradition and Preservation Non-governmental Organisation, Atin Berlynda, who noted children also learn social skills, decision-making skills and move at their own pace to discover their own interests.
Atin underlined the importance of paying close attention to early childhood education which holds the key to the betterment of society.
