Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg witnessed the MoU singing ceremony, where the Ministry of Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development pointed out, that it is committed to ensure that all children in Sarawak are equipped with digital literacy so that they are not left behind in the digitalisation era, said its minister Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah.
She said, this programme aims to provide computer literacy and coding training and classes for teachers and children to develop vital computational thinking and reasoning skills that are essential for a technology reliant future. She added that this theme is chosen to emphasise the importance of having the relevant skills among Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) teachers to be able to adapt and cope with the ever changing educational and socio-economic environments.
