The project is a platform specially designed and tailored for learning resources, enhancing the teaching-learning process and polish researching skills for both teachers and students.
Caroline Duliat of SMK Narinang said it was an eye opener. She said it was a solution to reduce burden of teachers as well as providing better quality teaching aids much needed by students.
“Overall, this vocational training has opened our eyes, helping us gain new ideas to help our students enjoy the learning process whether inside or outside the classroom.
“With interactive training sessions and the amount of allocation provided for our school, this would surely reduce the burden on teachers to provide quality teaching aids they need.

“I have gained so much experience and knowledge from the training. I now acknowledge that we have so many things to improve in our way of teaching.
“I have a clearer version on what we should do in our Project Based Learning. The poster pitching is new to us and it really opened our eyes on how it can help students improve their speaking skills.
“As a rural school, it is our first time participating in this unique programme conducted by an NGO, the Rotary Club. It is indeed a privilege to be part of it,” said Sabrina.
The project was jointly held by Rotary Club of Kinabalu Sutera (RCKS), Rotary Club of Likas Bay (RCLB) and sponsored by CIMB Bank Berhad.
