What Are NKRAs?

National Pre-School Information System (SMPK)

The rollout of the National Pre-school Information System or SMPK to collate data on both pre-school institutions and students has been pivotal in monitoring and evaluating pre-school education in a transparent manner.

As such, private pre-schools are highly encourage to register in the SMPK to ensure the operations comply to guideline. These guidelines are important to ensure all pre-schools adhere to safety and health regulations for the children's education environment.

If you know of any unregistered pre-schools, please email to eccecouncil@eccecouncil.org or visit www.eccecouncil.org for more information. Read the story here to learn more.
