PUTRAJAYA, July 30 (Bernama) -- The Rakan Muda Secretariat of the Institution of Higher Education (SRM IPT) are encouraged to hold youth programmes that are inclusive and not limited to students only, said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh.
She said the programmes do not necessarily have to be physical, but can also be on digital platforms to ensure a wider reach of the target group.
“Not all youths are at the institutions of higher education (IPT), so when the secretariat holds a programme somewhere, they could just include youths who are living in the surrounding areas,” she told reporters after the presentation of the SRM IPT Fund here today.
Hannah said the ministry has allocated RM1 million for the SRM IPT to carry out Rakan Muda development programmes and activities based on the 10 Lifestyles of Rakan Muda.
She said that for the first phase, the ministry has approved 16 applications from the SRM IPT totalling RM280,000, while for the second phase, 59 applications totalling RM1.18 million are being processed.
SRM IPT is a specialised secretariat established in public and private IPT with the aim of implementing programmes and activities that can highlight the potential and form a good character and identity among students.
