In his address, Ahmad Zahid reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening early childhood education through three key priorities: enhancing English language learning with the use of emerging technologies, maintaining a strong foundation in Islamic education through Fardu Ain and Fardu Kifayah, and expanding Quran memorisation programmes to enable children to complete Juzuk 30 at an early age.
