Foundation  School  is the  equivalent of the  Foundation  Stage in the  British  state education  system.  It is the stage during a learner’s early years  that prepares the learner for formal education  which starts  with  Primary School  .  The Foundation School is for children in the early year foundation stage between 1 to 5 years old.  It  has  four  levels namely :  Infant ( Age 1 )  ,  Toddler (Age 2 )  ,  Nursery (Age 3 )  and  Reception ( Age 4 ).  It aims to systematically help children to learn so they are: 

-          Helped to make connections in their learning.

-          Actively led forward to discover and appreciate  their  latent  geniuses ;

Generative learning is learning what to learn  and    how to learn. The  generative  learner  shall  grow up to be  a self-driven  learner with minimum  need  for   external drivers to  drive them to learn.
