No child left behind.

Assalamualaikum WBT. Early Childhood Education in Sarawak is being implemented by various federal agencies and the private sector. SeDidik has played an important role in providing access to early education and childcare to the community in Sarawak since 1991.

Drawing on SeDidik’s long experience in delivering ECCE, and driven by the Sarawak Government’s desire to improve access, equity and quality in early childhood education, the acquisition of SeDidik by the Sarawak Government through SFS Inc. was a strategic move by our State Government to achieve access, equity and quality in ECCE in Sarawak.

Early childhood care and education (ECCE) is more than preparation for primary school or formal schooling, as it focuses on holistic development, catering to a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs to build a solid and broad foundation for quality human capital. It is the basic right of every child to have access to preschool education. Preschool education lays the foundation for character building through experiential learning. In early childhood education, fun learning is of the essence, enriching curiosity, creativity and a love of lifelong learning.

ECCE is one of the best investments a nation can make to promote human resource development, gender equality and social cohesion, and to reduce the costs for later intervention and remedial programmes.

Under the Ministry of Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development, SeDidik is now focused on integrating efforts to provide access to, and equity in, inclusive quality ECCE, as well as developing professionalism among teachers for effective, efficient and relevant ECCE services.

Every child is important. No child should be left behind, and each one is our priority, for they are our state’s greatest asset. Thank you.

Assalamualaikum WBT. Realising the significance of ECCE to the development of human capital in Sarawak, the late Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, our former Chief Minister of Sarawak, inspired the idea of creating Sarawak’s own early childhood education entity.

SeDidik was then established on 7 January 1991 under the 6th Malaysia Plan. SeDidik’s first pilot project centre was TADIKA SeDidik Buntal, located in the fishing village of Kampung Buntal, Kuching.

On 27 July 2020, SeDidik was officially handed over to the Sarawak Government, through the Ministry of Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development.

As an ECCE institution that has been in the industry since 1991, SeDidik continuously strives to provide the latest information and quality services, and to respond to website visitors’ feedback in order to improve our services over time.

Rapid global change and advances in ICT have also made us aware of the need to keep pace. As an Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) institution that emphasises quality and productivity, fast, accurate and up-to-date information is essential to further improve our delivery of quality services to the target group.

We welcome the community to join us in strengthening the potential in programmes and activities involving children, families and society.

I therefore hope that our website will serve as a platform for staying connected with the community. Providing the best quality services to the community is our priority.
