Quality Education for ALL in Sabah (SPEAK UP SABAH 10.0)

THE PROBLEM

Quality of education is a foundation of the development of society and as a developing nation, Malaysia is in need of a strong and sustainable education system to equip its young citizens with knowledge, values and skills for more life opportunities. While the Malaysian population that has received high education has grown throughout the years, Malaysian students are failing behind their peers in the country's regional neighbours. English proficiency and STEM knowledge are two important factors of employability in the 21st century. In order to increase the number of young Malaysians with the necessary skills for employment in today's world, the Malaysian education system needs to resolve the following issues:
1.) Students' low English proficiency level due to quality of national English language education.
2.) Students' subpar performance in applying science and mathematics knowledge.
3.) Gap in education quality between states and within states across Malaysia.

THE SOLUTION

The project consists of several components involving the school students and volunteers.

1- Train the Trainer (TtT)

Aims to equip volunteers with sufficient knowledge and skills that able to engage with students during workshops. TtT session will be delivered by AIESEC learning partners to increase the knowledge of the volunteers regarding the topic in the workshop.

2 - School Workshops

Aim to raise awareness about the importance of English communication and STEM knowledge to boost students’ confidence in speaking English and applying sciece theory and application in everyday life.

3 - Action Initiative Planning

Which aims to evaluate the project deliverables and impacts, and to ensure the sustainability of our impacts even the projects have ended with the school teachers, global volunteers and our committees.

4 - Global Village

Aims to promote international cultural exchange among the volunteers showcasing their language, food, attire and many cultural elements from their home country.

THE IMPACT

Speak Up has been reached more than 800 Global Volunteers, 160 Secondary Schools and 2,200 Secondary Students. More than 83% of these stakeholders have ranked our project with a score of 8 out of 10, and more than 76% of the Secondary Students have ranked themselves more confident in using English for daily interaction with peers (7 out of 10), some of them even become the Committee of the Toastmaster Club which reveals that what Speak Up brings to them is not just about short-term change but a long-term impact.
