In trying to formulate a successful programme, and one that is as efficient as possible; SIDMA College Sabah, through the dynamic leadership of Dr Morni Hj Kambrie (Founder and Chairman, SIDMA College Sabah and Sarawak) and Madam Azizah Khalid Merican (CEO SIDMA Sabah) responded to MEB to produce bilingual efficiency among its graduates by expanding more opportunities for greater exposure to English among its needy students through a special English Enhancement Programme (EEP).

The special EEP programme which was launched by Madam Azizah Khalid Merican on 14 February 2017 is another of SIDMA’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to provide a fully funded intensive English intervention course to students who are not fluent in their command of the language, in order to transform their Reading, Writing Listening, Speaking as well as their interpersonal communication skills to a greater level so that they can excel in their studies and for their future need.

About 30 of academic staff trooped to Pan Borneo Hotel, Putatan on the 22 to 23 March 2018, for a scheduled staff professional development seminar, with the theme “Power-Up a Good Lecture.”

Designed specifically to boost lecturers’ presentation skills and paving the way for interactive learning, the seminar focused on incorporating different teaching methods in classroom for effective sessions, and understanding the need of students (personality)  through fun and interactive inquiries testing methods; as well as collaborating with relevance.

Acknowledging that the participants are SIDMA lecturers who are also teaching future educators, Datu Razali encouraged them to expand their network through building collaboration not only with the local communities around them, but also building connections with other institutions of higher learning.

The lecturers were also exposed to an engaging session with Datu Razali Datuk (Datu) Hj. Eranza, who is one of the trainer for the seminar and has acted as one of the panel for the Malaysia Education Blueprint. The engagement provided a platform for the lecturers collaboratively discussed and tackled different issues with relations to the 11 transformation in the Malaysia Education Blueprint.
