UNICEF correspondent Steve Nettleton reports on efforts to bring formal early childhood education to an indigenous community in Malaysia.
You are watching UNICEF Television.
00:00:00
Old rhythms of life are quickening in this remote community in northern Malaysia.
00:00:04
A change of pace that begins with children under six years old.
00:00:10
For these young indigenous boys and girls, preschool is a time for fun and food.
00:00:16
But it's giving them something most of their parents never had, a formal education.
00:00:21
They are Temayar, one of 18 ethnic groups in Malaysia known as Orang Asli, or original people.
00:00:27
The Orang Asli have long lived in isolated communities, with little access to proper schools and health care.
00:00:36
Some 80% of Orang Asli children never complete secondary school.
00:00:43
Seema Asir is part of an initiative to change that.
00:00:50
She is the teacher of a new preschool built by the Community Development Department of the
00:00:54
Ministry of Regional and Rural Development.
00:00:59
Her job involves not only managing children, but also dealing with sceptical parents.
00:01:02
Generally, indigenous parents are still not very interested in education.
00:01:09
They see this preschool as a place to send their children to play and eat.
00:01:13
But when they see people from outside the community showing interest in their children,
00:01:17
they grow more conscious of the need for education.
00:01:20
But it's hard. We need to do this regularly.
00:01:23
UNICEF and the Malaysian government are working to train some 300 preschool teachers and supervisors
00:01:27
and reach out to more than 18,000 parents and guardians in rural areas.
00:01:32
The workshops stress the importance of boosting early childhood development,
00:01:41
offering tips on learning activities, nutrition and child psychology.
00:01:45
We've noticed that parents in these communities have very little parenting skills.
00:01:50
They are feeding their children extremely unhealthy food,
00:01:55
and the children are not doing well in terms of development.
00:01:58
So we try to teach them why children need an education,
00:02:01
why the children need to learn to read and write,
00:02:05
because it really improves their chances later on in life.
00:02:08
Planting skills for a new generation of Orang Asli,
00:02:13
so they can craft their own choices for the future.
