SK Sampadi and SK Siar Campuran are among five Trust Schools sponsored by Petronas in Sarawak, all in the Lundu district.
Yayasan Amir’s Trust School programme in collaboration with Petronas and other corporate sponsors aims to transform the teaching and learning environment for teachers and students alike.
“Before this, it was ‘chalk and talk’, but now the teacher gives the topic and a few questions and the students will engage in discussion,” he said. Wafik also said the students were given opportunities to assess each other’s work and help their friends in their studies. Lim Mei Yong, who teaches Mathematics at SK Siar Campuran, said the students were noticeably less shy and more confident after the programme started, also in 2015.
“We learn and play at the same time. For example, we play a Maths game called Tarsia which is like a puzzle. We have to solve problems to complete the puzzle,” said the 11-year-old. “I enjoy learning like this. I think my academic performance has improved as the learning environment is better,” she said.
