YLA 2022
A brief summary of our 2022 YLA programme


The Edulab (YLA 2022 Winning Team)
The Edulab is a social enterprise and outreach project that aims to improve English readability among children aged 10-14 years old which covers the upper primary and lower secondary students in Malaysia. This project is aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 4 Quality Education and the Ministry of Education's "Kempen Pendidikan" education blueprint to equip Malaysian students holistically and enable them to fulfill their potential.
In 2022, Edulab has conducted over 40 workshops and engaged more than 1,200 students through their community events and initiatives in Malaysia - making an impact to the society with an average increase of 52% in English Literacy in the community.
