LABUAN — Thirty Year Six pupils from SK Kampung Bahagia, Sandakan, gained exposure to university life during an educational visit to Universiti Malaysia Sabah Labuan International Campus (UMSKAL) here today.
The delegation was led by the school’s headmistress, Aidatul Kuyong, and accompanied by nine teachers.
Aidatul said the visit, organised by the school’s Guidance and Counselling Unit, aimed to familiarise pupils with the university environment, learning facilities and opportunities for higher education.
“The programme provides an opportunity for pupils to broaden their knowledge and experiences beyond the classroom, while gaining a better understanding of higher education and future career opportunities,” she said.
She said Labuan was an ideal destination for the educational trip, offering opportunities for pupils to learn about its history, cultural diversity, natural attractions and main economic activities.
