00:00The Selangor Government and Education Ministry have joined hands to improve

00:04the quality of education in the state,

00:06encompassing all aspects of human capital development.

00:10They aim to achieve the objectives through the Terkad Reformasi

00:14pendidikan program launched in Kajang on Monday.

00:17We have put in place several aspects

00:21so that a reset of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis

00:29can start something new.

00:32Actually, the excitement about this has started since 2019

00:39when the government reaffirmed that education

00:44must be an important basis for development and progress

00:50in our country.

00:52To ensure that Selangor remains stable

00:55as the largest main contributor in the KDNK,

00:59the field of education is an indispensable basis.

01:04Otherwise, we will always rely on import sources

01:11or maybe from foreign countries.

01:14And we are unable to give a direct impact on development and progress

01:19to the people of our country.

01:23Later at a press conference,

01:25Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Sri Amiruddin Syari

01:28said the program will encompass academic, sports and culture,

01:32technical, vocational, education and training,

01:34as well as special needs education.

01:37He said the state's People's Tuition Center

01:39will conduct literacy and numeracy training

01:42for 17,000 children in primary schools

01:45who are struggling with reading, writing and counting.

01:48Education Minister Fadlina Sidek said nationwide,

01:52the ministry had identified 122,000 year-one pupils

01:56as still lacking the three essential skills.

01:59We have identified more than 83,000 children

02:07who will be involved in this program,

02:11especially those with 3D, 3M, SPM and literacy skills.

02:18Numbers are dynamic.

02:20As long as they are controlled through interventions

02:23both at the state level and at the federal level,

02:26and through our children's programs,

02:28the numbers will change.

02:32The ministry said Selangor was chosen for the launch

02:35of the Terkad Reformasi Pendidikan program

02:38because the state had shown

02:39an impressive performance in education

02:42in terms of academics and sports.
