THE Community Development Department (Kemas) has entered into a strategic partnership with Telekom Malaysia to provide internet facilities in all its preschools, Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Rubiah Wang said.

She said 51 preschools in Sarawak had benefited from the collaboration so far and it would be continued in phases.

“The ministry remains committed to ensuring that Kemas preschool children in rural areas, especially in Sarawak, are not left behind in this digital age,” she said at the closing ceremony of the state-level Kemas Potential Day in Kuching today.

Rubiah said the department also plans to gradually provide equipment or digital devices such as smart TVs, laptops and internet access to the preschools it manages across the state.

She said this goes hand in hand with the 21st-century learning that has changed the environment of early childhood education. – Bernama, September 24, 2023.
