MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

Kolej DiKa extends a warm welcome to all, especially to students who are seeking to enrich their lives through livelong learning.

Education in Malaysia has progressed tremendously. It has become the pride of envy of many. To face the challenge of the future everyone aspires to do even better. They even want to have an earlier start than the formal primary level education. That start must be available at preschool level and that start must be based on a sound footing with a properly thought-out curriculum, properly trained teachers and environment conducive and encouraging to learning.

The above is the basis and the commitment that led to the establishment of Kolej DiKa. It aims to provide trained early childhood practitioners for childcare centres and kindergartens in Malaysia.

Kolej DiKa offers two programmes :
Certificate and Diploma in Early Childhood Education which is equivalent to a First Year Bachelor's Degree. Our certificate and Diploma programmes are accredited by the LAN and Ministry of Higher Learning.

To stay relevant in the forefront of early childhood training and to leverage knowledge worldwide, Kolej DiKa has twinning and accredited degree programmes in collaboration with foreign universities namely; QUT (Queensland University of Technology), Australia and KLC School of Education,Singapore.

Kolej DiKa is an institution that offers students from multi-cultural and multilingual backgrounds the opportunity to interact, to connect and to learn from one another. Kolej DiKa's courses and programmes are designed to foster both personal and professional growth in all dimensions of human aspirations.
