b) Draft Proposed Activities for the Human Rights Best Practices (ATHAM)
Programme in Schools
SUHAKAM had organised a series of workshops on ATHAM in six different
zones throughout Malaysia in 2019. Among the feedback received from
the participants was that they needed some guidance on activities
that could be implemented in schools to fulfil the objectives of ATHAM
programme.
Hence, SUHAKAM developed a list of proposed activities based on the
articles in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to serve as a
guide to the teachers on possible activities that can be done in schools
under the ATHAM programme.
Datuk Lok Yim Pheng delivered the opening address at an online focus group discussion (FGD)
on the Draft Proposed Activities for the ATHAM Programme in Schools attended by officials from
Ministry of Education and teachers from ATHAM schools which was held on 7 October in Kuala
Lumpur.
The development of the proposed activities also involved the Ministry of
Education (MOE) and several selected teachers from ATHAM schools. A
discussion was held on 7 October with the involvement of MOE’s School
Management Division, Educational Planning and Research Division, Technical
and Vocational Education Division, Special Education Division, Private
Education Division, Curriculum Development Division, Sport, Art and CoCurricular Division, Fully Residential School Management Division, Examination
