Families can buy school uniform at affordable prices under Nadi school uniform initiative
KUALA LUMPUR: The Nadi School Uniform initiative not only helps families acquire school supplies at more affordable prices, but also opens up opportunities for alumni of the Nadi Sewing Skills programme to generate income through the skills they have learned.
The Nadi School Uniform initiative has been launched to provide families with more affordable access to school supplies. This program, which originated from the Nadi Mahir Jahit sewing skills programme, also offers alumni the opportunity to earn income using their newly acquired skills. Over 2,000 participants have enrolled in the Nadi Mahir Jahit programme, which is now in its fourth intake.
The initiative's Lifelong Learning pillar aims to empower underprivileged and marginalised groups through education and skills training, including sewing, cooking, gadget repair, and more. Fadhlina Sidek, the Education Minister, highlighted that the program allows participants to make installment payments for school uniforms without any interest or additional charges, providing a helpful alternative for families struggling with expenses, especially those with multiple children to clothe.
The ultimate goal of the Nadi School Uniform initiative is not just to provide school uniforms, but to empower individuals with valuable skills that can benefit multiple families in the long run.
