KP 2026 Orientation Day Survival Kit:
How Should Teachers Answer When Parents Ask "Why No Homework?"
Recommended Save: A specific Orientation Day script guide for the 2026 school year, helping you resolve parental anxiety about the new curriculum.
With the full implementation of Kurikulum Prasekolah 2026 (KP 2026), "going worksheet-free" and "Play-based Learning" have become irreversible trends. But for the upcoming Orientation Day, are you ready to face the tough questions from parents?
The HiParents editorial team has compiled 3 of the most frequent "Crisis Questions" along with standard response scripts. You can copy these directly for your PPTs or teacher training.
🔥 Crisis 1: Regarding "Less Writing"
Parent asks: "Why are there so few workbooks this year? The neighbor's kid is already writing words."
🗣️ Suggested Answer:
“Dad/Mom, actually we are 'taking a step back to move two steps forward'. Under the new KP 2026 standards, we focus more on the development of the child's fine motor skills.
Holding a pen too early can hurt muscles and make children hate writing. This year we added many 'threading, clay, Lego' activities to build hand strength. Only when hands are strong will they write fast and beautifully in primary school.”
💡 Key Point: Redefine "not writing" as "Pre-writing Skills".
🎮 Crisis 2: Regarding "Too Much Play"
Parent asks: "I see photos of them playing all the time. Are they actually having lessons?"
🗣️ Suggested Answer:
“This is exactly the Play-based Learning advocated by KP 2026.
Actually, 'play' is the highest form of 'learning'. For example, in the photo where you saw them 'selling things', the teacher was actually teaching them addition/subtraction logic and communication skills. If it's rote memorization, the child forgets tomorrow; but what they learn through play, they remember for a lifetime.”
💡 Key Point: Give specific examples (e.g., Role Play = Math) to break the stereotype of "play".
❤️ Crisis 3: Regarding "Assessment Standards"
Parent asks: "Without spelling tests and exams, how do I know if my child is improving?"
🗣️ Suggested Answer:
“Our assessment is more comprehensive than exams. We use PBD (Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah).
Exams only test 'what the child remembers', but through PBD we can tell you 'what the child can do'. For example, do they proactively resolve conflicts? Can they express themselves confidently? These Karamah Insaniah (Character) and soft skills are the competitiveness children need most for the AI future.”
💡 Key Point: Emphasize "Soft Skills" and "Future Competitiveness", which are modern parents' biggest concerns.
