PETALING JAYA, April 6 ― Many students located in the interiors of Sabah and Sarawak such as in Kapit and Kota Marudu have to walk for hours daily before reaching their classes.
To raise awareness on the hardships faced by students, Astro is organising a Walk for Education event where all proceeds will go to schools such as Sabah’s SK Magandai in Kota Marudu and Sarawak’s SK Sg Paku. Astro talent and social media influencer Wafiy Ilhan said that he was delighted to be part of the event as he wanted to highlight the challenges students in remote areas go through to get to school.
Apart from that, Astro Kasih ESG, the sustainability arm of Astro Malaysia is championing education via its Kampus Astro where five million students in all government schools would have decoders, TVs and access to 14 learning channels.
