Speech Title: 

Early Childhood Education Learning Models Post Pandemic in Malaysia

Abstract: 

While most teachers have worked hard to support their students, they have received little of the additional resources and training support that they need. There have been limited remedial lessons for those failing to catch up. Students who move on unprepared to the next grade are missing key building blocks of knowledge for success (e.g., reading, writing, and mathematics). Furthermore, children are being incorrectly categorized as having learning difficulties. The enormous disruption in schooling and loss of social interaction have had a serious impact on the mental health of our children, including a fear of falling behind in studies and concerns whether, as schools open, they will be safe from the virus. In addition, there will be students grieving for lost loved ones and struggling with the resulting changes in their lives. Therefore, this paper has discussed the pedagogies that are seen as appropriate to be carried out in post-pandemic preschools.
