YWM Introduces Waqf Go Learning, Expands Access To Education For B40, Asnaf Students

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- Yayasan Waqaf Malaysia (YWM) has made history in digital education with the launch of Waqf Go Learning - the first waqf-based learning platform in the country - aimed at expanding access to quality education for primary and secondary school students, especially from B40 families and the asnaf (eligible tithe recipients) group. 

This innovative platform, a result of collaboration with ITTV Education Sdn Bhd, offers over 3,000 educational videos, in line with the Ministry of Education (MOE) syllabus and additional features such as interactive quizzes and tutor forums.

YWM said in a statement that 10 per cent of subscription collection from the platform would be rechannelled to the foundation as waqf (endowment) funding, thus ensuring its sustainability and long-term impact.

It also plans to expand access to this platform to tahfiz students and persons with disabilities, besides introducing the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) module and digital career guidance as preparation for future employment.

"For a start, 1,000 students have been offered free access to the Waqf Go Learning portal from today, and it is open to those from Year Four to Form Five,” it added.

All parties, including government agencies, State Islamic Religious Councils and government-linked companies (GLCs), are urged to become Waqf Go Learning strategic partners, as well as sponsor the asnaf and B40 students to have more comprehensive access to education, regardless of race, ethnicity or religion.

The public can register via the website at golearning.ywm.gov.my, and for more information, visit  www.ywm.gov.my as well as the foundation's official social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
