PERMATA’s efficacy proven by stats, says minister

Minister Shahidan Kassim says studies show that 10% of the children in PERMATA programmes have upper-level intelligence.
Shahidan-Kassim_permata_600_1KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Shahidan Kassim has defended PERMATA (Programme for Early Fostering and Teaching), saying that the statistics gathered have proven its efficacy.
In a late press conference outside Parliament today, the Arau MP provided the results from a study on the efficacy of the PERMATA programme, done with the help from Sultan Idris Education University.
The study showed that the majority of the children following the programme had displayed abilities beyond their first-year milestone.
“Based on the results of the study and the programme’s achievements, it is best that the programme be continued and expanded, its results being recorded for the use of kindergarten administrators and other parties for mutual benefit as well as to optimise the potential of the country’s human resources,” said Shahidan.
Shahidan also stated that the PERMATA programme had run intelligence level tests on the children and found that 10% of the children had upper-level intelligence.
Results from early PERMATA intelligence valuation tests in 2007 had, among others, showed that PERMATA had helped children become calmer, more stable and cheerful in terms of personality, and to have better language skills in terms of forming phrases and sentences compared to non-PERMATA children.
The study covered language skills to intellect and mental health, and also collated the number of children under the PERMATA programme in various kindergartens.
