ALOR SETAR: The Education Ministry (MOE) aims to increase pre-school enrolment to 90 per cent from the current 80 per cent as a preliminary measure to prevent school dropouts.

Its Minister Fadhlina Sidek said that in order to achieve that target, the ministry would open more pre-schools and run an advocacy campaign to encourage parents to send their children to pre-schools.
