THE PROBLEM
Malaysian secondary school students have a poor command of English & lack of good communication abilities. Based on the National Education Blueprint 2013-2025 (Preschool to Post-Secondary Education), 3 out of 10 secondary students achieved a minimum credit in their SPM English paper. At the same time, one of the most highlighted importance of raising the quality of education by the general public is communication skills among secondary students. This in accordance with the 4th Global Goal, thus the project is to empower underserved students in Malaysia to have a better future by developing their English proficiency & enhancing their personal development through workshops and consistent communication initiatives.
THE SOLUTION
The project consists of several components for both secondary school students and global volunteers.
1st - Train the Trainer (TtT)
Which aims to equip our volunteers with enough knowledge and skills when we are engaging and teaching students English with the kind help of our Partners Teach For Malaysia (TFM).
2nd - School Workshops
Which aims to raise awareness and the importance of English Speaking and to boost up students’ confidence in speaking English with interactive activities.
3rd - 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.
4th - Global Village
Which aims to foster cultural exchange with the global volunteer showcasing their food, 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.
