Book Fair Stresses On Early Start To Education
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - A book exhibition will be held at The Mall in Gadong starting today until Sunday, offering members of the public a chance to get their hands on a wide range of educational products for their young children.

The exhibition - which stresses on the need for early education - is organised by Syarikat Khaslih Jaya, the main agent of Grolier International (Singapore) in Brunei Darussalam.

"Early education is important," said Grolier International Sales Manager Chong Yen Leng, stressing that a child's education starts not at school, but at home, where children can learn quicker.

Employing a systematic way of education, Grolier International (Singapore) products cater to children as young as two-years-old as well as adults. The Grolier International products made its debut in Brunei Darussalam earlier this year.

"In Singapore, around 80 per cent of parents use the education tools of Grolier International. So we felt that Brunei too was a potential market," she added.

The Singapore company employs educational experts and child psychologists to develop programmes to cater for the individual needs of customers from different countries.

The range of books available include `Help Me Be Good,' based on moral values of character building, `I Wonder Why (Knowledge),' Phonics Reading Programme, Disney Children Encyclopaedia, and Logico Set.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
