Parents laud Karnival Pendidikan Sinar Bestari, want more educational events held nationwide

SHAH ALAM - Parents lauded the Karnival Pendidikan Sinar Bestari, urging more education events all over Malaysia.

The carnival goers not only came from Selangor, but some parents were willing to travel all the way from Negeri Sembilan to experience the education carnival with their kids.

Hailing from Seremban, Nurul Shahidah Othman, 38, who is a housewife, was thankful that Sinar Karangkraf hosted an education carnival that brought learning through visual, mind and touch.

"What attracted me the most is the way of education presented in this carnival, the organisers did not only focus on books as education, but they provided a platform for the kids to learn from visualising and touch.

"For example, touching and petting the animals from the Farm in the City, playing games which involve concentration like Jenga and puzzle," she told Sinar Daily.

However, she urged education carnivals like this to be held in all states in Malaysia as it might benefit more students, kids and parents from each state.

Meanwhile, Customer Care Officer Nurul Syazwani Abdul Talip, 48, said the education carnival was an eye-opener on how to enrol her kids in higher institutions.

"As a parent, this carnival definitely benefitted me in many ways.

"There were various booth relating to education, so we get an idea of which institution and what course we can suggest for our kids," she said.

Commenting further, housewife Nirmala Devi, 45, who hails from Banting said the Karnival Pendidikan Sinar Bestari was a great place for kids to socialise and have fun.

"The carnival was a great place for kids to socialise and have fun, they had horse-riding and very fun games.

"Also, I managed to grabb a bunch of books for my kids and my nephews as well at the book warehouse sale. We need more education carnivals like this as it benefits more students and kids," she said.

The Karangkraf headquarters in Shah Alam had attracted thousands of students, parents and kids participation during the second day of the Karnival Pendidikan Sinar Bestari today.

It is the largest education carnival in Selangor, organised in collaboration with the Selangor State Education Department (JPNS), and it will be held until tomorrow.
