Education
The Foundation continued to enhance its
English Enrichment Training Programme
(EETP)
to focus on improving the language proficiency
and teaching methods of local English
teachers, with the objective of empowering
teachers to create greater impact amongst
students. In March 2014, our third EETP took
place where we reached out to 74 teachers
from 37 schools in Kedah, Perak,
Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Sabah and
Sarawak during an intensive four-day
training programme. This was followed by
supplementary English classes for Year 1 to
Year 3 students over the span of 22 weeks
facilitated by the trained teachers, benefitting
over 1,500 students.
Community
Big Day Out
is a one-day event that is held
concurrently throughout the country with
employees carrying out a community activity of
their choice. Initiated in 2010, this is specifically
organised by employees and involves GAB’s
business partners throughout Malaysia. It is
part of GAB’s efforts to be more involved in the
communities in which we operates in.
