The Education Ministry has implemented an education programme for children who were rescued from Global Ikhwan Service and Business Holdings (GISBH) homes.

The ministry announced today that the programme, in collaboration with the Social Welfare Department (JKM), will involve 68 teachers.

It said in a statement that the programme began on Tuesday (Oct 1) and was designed to provide formal education for the children, ensuring their learning is not disrupted.

The programme includes the Year 1 Transition Programme Kit and the Healthy Mind Intervention Programme Module (Prisma) for children who have never been part of the national education system.

“The kit focuses on the children’s socioeconomic, cognitive, and physical development to build their self-confidence and holistically prepare them, including mastering literacy and numeracy skills.

“The module also incorporates elements that raise awareness of their self-potential while promoting a balance in their physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and intellectual aspects, helping them adapt positively to the new learning environment,” read the statement.

In line with the Humanistic Education agenda, the Education Ministry said it is committed to ensuring these children get the best educational opportunities, leaving no one behind.
