SK Sabak in Kota Baru became the second school in Kelantan to be adopted by Malaysia Airlines (MAS) under its Project PINTAR. The first was SMK Kuala Balah in Jeli, last year.
MAS chairman Datuk Dr Mohammed Munir Abdul Majid said SK Sabak was the seventh school in the country to be adopted by the national carrier under the PINTAR project which was initiated last year.
He said the objectives of the project were to complement the work of the teaching staff and guide students to excel in education.
“Education is a determining factor in our quest towards becoming a developed nation by the year 2020,” said Munir in a speech.
The launch at the school, located not far from the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport, was officiated by Tengku Mahkota Kelantan, Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra Ibni Sultan Ismail Petra.
Munir said the adoption programme had shown encouraging results in the first year, with 397 students obtaining 5As in their UPSR.
Through this commitment for the next three years, MAS will facilitate several initiatives for the students to motivate them to learn and ensure they have a conducive environment.
These initiatives include motivational talks, tuition packages and leadership courses.
Project PINTAR was launched in Penang and MAS started the ball rolling by adopting two schools in the state – SK Permatang Damar Laut and SMK Raja Tun Uda in Bayan Lepas. – Bernama
