Highly Immersive Programme SKPI- Report

The Launching Ceremony of the “Highly Immersive Programme (HIP)”

Date       : 13 August 2018 (Monday)

Venue     : Dataran SKPI

Introduction
HIP is a well crafted programme with the noble intention of enhancing English proficiency among students.  Under this programme, students are given more exposure to English but without an increase in the teaching hours.  It empowers the schools to plan and execute programmes which are tailor-made to suit the immersive level of their students.

       It is based on a whole school approach which ropes in the school heads, teachers, students, parents and community.  This strategy would work well as the stakeholders are given equal importance and acknowledgement for their respective roles in realizing the objectives of the programme.

       This programme provides a true recognition to English language and it empowers the schools to plan and execute the programmes in their own capacity. It focuses on “empowering schools, by the schools and for the schools.”

Aims & Objectives

It aims to involve and immerse students in an English-rich environment as a first step in achieving the objectives of instilling interest and awareness among the students.

It was initially introduced under the Upholding Bahasa Malaysia and Strengthening the English Language (MBMMBI) policy in 1999
