| Summary: | The development of excellent human capital,
knowledge, skills and good personality is a main agenda in
the education system. The Malaysian government has been
focusing on the human capital development not only to
certain groups, but includes all sections of the community
regardless of ethnicity, religion and race. In the context of
Orang Asli communities, various programs have been
developed to ensure education among Orang Asli in line
with the rest of communities in Malaysia. However, until
now educational achievement among Orang Asli still in a
low level. A very highlighted problem involves the issue of
dropouts, low grades in the exams, the problem of school
absenteeism and problems related to teaching and learning
(Ramle & Abdul Razaq, 2012). This project was
implemented to help reduce the problem among Orang Asli
education especially in Terengganu. The objective of the
program focused on raising awareness of the responsibility
and the importance of education among parents, helps to
reduce the school dropout rate and absenteeism Orang
Asli students to school and improve academic performance
among them. The project is implemented by adopting
intensive classes to students, raise awareness and
motivation to students, raise awareness and the importance
of education to parents, strengthen PIBG and the
ecosystem of learning and teaching. The results of the
project showed increased student attendance to schools,
parents and local community responsibilities and greater
concern about their children's education. Some of them
began to send their own children to school. The percentage
of school attendance increased and students are better
prepared for school. |
