IT TAKES effective plans and techniques to make our youngsters

upright, responsible and truly Malaysian in preparation for Vision

2020.

 

The Educare Conference, organised for the first time by the Sathya

Sai Central Council of Malaysia with the support of the Women and

Family Development Ministry on Dec 4 and 5 is out to make this

happen.

 

One of the speakers at the conference, Associate Professor Dr G.

Suresh Kumar said the event from 8.30am to 5.30pm on both days at

Hotel Singgahsana, Petaling Jaya, hopes to bring the effective

techniques of imparting universal human values in primary and

secondary education.

 

"We will also have discussions on effective parenting," he said.

 

Participants comprise teachers, principals, Parent-Teacher

Association members, representatives from non-governmental
