CHAPTER 1 - REPORT OF THE EDUCATION AND PROMOTION WORKING GROUP
An activity in progress for polytechnic student leaders from the northern region
students are future leaders. As such, they should be exposed
to human rights and develop an understanding of issues while
still young.
At the end of each workshop, participants were assigned the
task of mapping a plan of action. They had to work out how to
share the knowledge that they had gained with fellow-students.
The Commission will work with them to ensure they implement
their plan of action effectively, as well as monitor the process.
The Commission believes
that youth and students
are future leaders. As
such, they should be
exposed to human
rights and develop an
understanding of issues
while still young.
(b) Collaboration with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
The Commission and UKM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 9 December to enhance

seminars/conferences, internship for staff and students, exchange of information and establishing a
human rights unit in the Faculty of Law. The MoU will be in effect for three years.
