We have standardised the curriculum of pre-primary education. I know that a lot of pre-primary institutions run their curriculum. They decide what they want to teach the children and some spend the whole day playing. We now have a structure where if you are running an ECD facility, there is a curriculum that you are supposed to follow."}
