ONE of the aspirations of the Malaysia Education Blueprint (2013-2025) is to make preschool education compulsory, and this was to be achieved by 2020.

The target remains unmet due to challenges such as lack of awareness of the importance of preschool education for the 4+ and 5+, inaccessibility in certain geographic areas and communities and affordability, as cited by the “Comprehensive Review of Preschool Education in Malaysia” report by the World Bank last year.
