Primary school students bid farewell to their teachers at the closing ceremony of UTAR-ECM Libra Foundation sponsored by ECM Libra Foundation.
The UTAR co-organised tuition programme was conducted by the Department of Soft Skills Competency (DSSC). The programme was held every Saturday since March 2018 and it was concluded in the month of November for the year 2018.
Attending the ceremony were Head of DSSC Fook Oi Yee, DSSC lecturers Nurulain binti Mohamad Salihuddin, Nur Farahin binti Bahari, Nurzanatul Amira binti Azizan, student assistant tutors, participants, parents and school teachers.
“This UTAR-ECM Libra Foundation Tuition programme covers two important subjects, namely Bahasa Malaysia (BM) and English. It aimed to improve the fluency and competency of students for both languages as well as equip them with a basic comprehension of both the languages. Instead of applying conservative teaching and learning style in the classroom, this programme offers various interesting styles that can promote and ignite students’ attention and interest towards these subjects,” said Fook. She also thanked ECM Libra Foundation for sponsoring the tuition programme since 2014.

The programme was meant for primary school pupils from Year 4 to Year 6 with an average level of proficiency. For the year 2018, six schools were involved in the programme, namely SJK (C) Balakong, SJK (C) Batu 9, SJK (C) Batu 11, SJK (C) Kampung Baru Semenyih, SJK(C) Sungai Long and SJK (C) Sin Ming.
“The syllabus that we used is based on the standard syllabus laid down by the Ministry of Education. However, our approach is more towards completing exercises such as grammar exercise and essay writing. We also conducted assessments for the students to ensure that they are on the right track. The assessments were held four times throughout the duration of the programme. The assessments were given to test students’ comprehension as well as writing,” said Nurulain.
