He said the convocation, which took place from March 6 to 11, was held at the Tuanku Chancellor’s Hall, USIM and was also attended by the Minister of Education and the Deputy Minister of Education.
Alesyah received the award as the best student of the educational technology programme at the national level on March 6 before being awarded as the overall best student of the vocational college a few days later by the Minister of Education, Fadhlina Sidek.
"She received a plaque, a certificate and cash amounting to RM3,000. Alesyah has forged many achievements and one of her biggest successes is being the first Malaysian to be named a top 10 finalist for the Global Student Prize in 2022.
"She also led her school team to win a hackathon organised by Unesco in 2020 and received a STEM grant amounting to four thousand from the Awesome Foundation in the same year.
