Projek BacaBaca

With the primary goal of eradicating learning poverty in Malaysia, Projek BacaBaca concentrates on early literacy for children aged six to nine, from low-income families. The programme aims to improve reading performance in Bahasa Melayu and English in particular, by empowering individuals and groups of children with their language, literacy, and communication skills in these two languages. We find out more from Dr. Logendra Stanley Ponniah (Director of Impact Lab Education for All) and Hema Letchamanan (Project Leader).
