Human Rights Modules for post-Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) and post-Form 3 Assessment (PT3) students. SUHAKAM’s idea to introduce human rights education in schools was well-received. SUHAKAM was requested to cooperate with the Ministry of Education (MOE) to develop a human rights training module for the Teachers Training Institute and to give its input on human rights education to MOE’s Curriculum Division. In order to gauge how well its training sessions were conducted and the level of knowledge the participants gained, SUHAKAM introduced a more structured evaluation using an online form as well as a pre- and post-tests approach. 1. Human rights modules for post-UPSR and PT3 students As highlighted in the 2017 Annual Report, SUHAKAM completed two human rights modules for post-UPSR and post-PT3 students in June this year. Each module contains 30 activities. The objective was to educate students in primary and secondary schools on human rights through fun activities. Though the modules were developed for Standard 6 and Form 3 students, who would have had more free time in school after their UPSR and PT3 examinations and before the school break at the end of the year, the activities are suitable for all primary and secondary students irrespective of their standard and form. SUHAKAM appreciates the contributions of MOE officers as well as teachers from several schools in finalising the modules during the two workshops which were held on 3 May and 28 June, respectively. Following the completion of the modules, SUHAKAM organised 3 Training of Trainers (TOT) sessions to ensure that the teachers from ATHAM schools could carry out the activities, as well as equip them with sufficient knowledge of human rights, particularly on the rights of the child. About 62 secondary school teachers and 51 primary school teachers attended the TOTs which were held as follows: No. Programme Date Venue 1.
