PENAMPANG: Primary schools here and in Kota Belud will be involved in a pilot project that would enable schools to run their own radio programme.
Assistant Education and Innovation Minister, Jenifer Lasimbang explained that such projects are already carried out in countries like Australia and the United States, and that using the radio as a form of teaching and learning had been proven effective.
She said that 24 schools in Penampang had been selected for the pilot project.
At the present time of writing, she was not able to provide the number of primary schools that would be involved in the project in Kota Belud.
The cost for the pilot project is also unavailable as they are still working on arriving at the estimation, she said.
The project will be funded by international NGO, UNICEF.
