We Are Malaysian
Quality Education

This project is to help students to cooperate with each other even they are in different races. The students should challenge themselves to cooperate create harmony with each other in doing activities. Through this project, we attempt to help them by providing the education level on using technology of our country’s future generation. These students will be guided on one of the benefits of technology which is in designing posters and publishing video. Through this, these students could have a platform to shine themselves and build interest in appreciating technologies. It also will give students opportunities to collaborate with their peers resulting in learning from each other in which it will definitely benefit them in future. These factors combined can lead to a positive impact on student learning and motivation.SMK Dato’ Abdul Rahman Andak has over approximately 1380 students and SMK Simpang Renggam has over approximately 1452 students. Our target is to help Form 4 students as these students are still blooming and we understand that to educate, one should start from young.

c. Project details:
1. Unanticipated difficulties: There is miscommunication in redeem funds from Khind Starfish Foundation due to difficulties in UTHM financial management processes. It is understandable though as this is the first time for us is involved in such a project with Khind Starfish Foundation. However due to this situation, project preparation was not able to be done according to the planned timeline, and there were many time constraints.
2. Language and cultural barriers: The schools have never received any video competition like this so some of them were not used to our rules and regulations. So, we took some time to give them proper explanations of what the project is about.
3. What worked well and didn’t: What worked well are we able to help the students by providing the education level on benefits in using smartphone. What didn’t work well is on reach our target which is 100 students from the district of Batu Pahat and Simpang Renggam and only 60 participants we got. It’s because some schools are having trial exams for the final year so the teachers might be worried if it will intrude students to focus on studying for exams. Besides, we have a problem regarding to spread the information about the competition among the schools in Batu Pahat and Simpang Renggam District. We need more support from the District Education Office of Batu Pahat.
4. Project beneficiary: Every student in schools Batu Pahat and Simpang Renggam district who are participated are benefited from the project. 60 students from 12 schools benefited from exposure to using a smartphone in publishing videos.

Indirectly, other students also participate in making the video as actors. Besides, all of the other students benefited from the project after watching the videos representing their school. The other students will also be exposed to the term harmony and importance of unity in living with the different races in Malaysia.
