Education: English Enrichment Training Programme
English Enrichment Training Programme
The objective of the English Enrichment Training Programme (EETP)
is to enhance teachers’ creative teaching skills and classroom
management to make learning English fun for pupils.
To kick start the year long EETP, teachers are required to attend
a four-day intensive training workshop conducted by experienced
early childhood education and English language professionals.
Following the workshop, participating schools will organise
supplementary after-school English classes for their pupils. These
classes are facilitated by the trained teachers and are conducted
on a weekly basis for 22-weeks.
EETP 2014–2015
For the third EETP, launched in 2014, we invited participating
schools and EETP alumni to attend and further sharpen their English
teaching skills. We also opened the programme up to teachers from
other institutions. Participants were divided into two groups and
each group undertook the four-day intensive training workshop.
Specific training sessions were scheduled on different days to
encourage a closer and more conducive learning environment.
In 2015, we raised the bar even higher by expanding the EETP to
Johor state. In total, 58 teachers from 33 primary schools signed up
for the training and 1,328 students received supplementary classes.
YB Datuk Chua Tee Yong, Deputy Finance Minister, attended one of
the EETP sessions.
EETP 2014 – 2015 highlights:
• 136 teachers trained
• 70 primary schools across Kedah, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan,
Perak, Sabah and Sarawak participated
• 136 supplementary English classes conducted over 22 weeks
• 2,828 pupils benefitted
Project impact to date:
• EETP has trained 270 teachers from 170 schools in 7 states
• Around 4,900 students have received supplementary English
classes

Business Community Training Programme
The Business Community Training Programme (BCTP) was held in
August 2014 for companies along Sungei Way and Sungai Penchala.
BCTP has been designed to educate business operators about the
importance of proper waste management and water conservation.
Our goal is to encourage businesses to work together towards a
common goal: protecting rivers as one of our key water sources.
The BCTP includes the sharing of best environmental management
practices for local business leaders to adopt or develop upon.
The BCTP was launched by the then Mayor of Petaling Jaya, Datin
Paduka Alinah Ahmad. It was jointly organised by:
• GAB Foundation
• Global Environment Centre
• Department of Immigration and Drainage Malaysia
• Selangor Water Management Board
• ENSEARCH
BCTP highlights for 2014:
• More than 30 participants were trained
• Over 20 companies were represented
Measuring our progress:
This was the first BCTP organised by the GAB Foundation. If
further BCTPs are run in the future, we will measure their success
by monitoring the number of companies that sign up to work on the
W.A.T.E.R Project.
