Education is a basic human right. SDG4 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education, promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Education helps reduce inequalities
in all forms and is key to achieving the many other sustainable development goals as it helps
break cycles of poverty, violence and abuse.
UNHCR Malaysia reckons there are a total of 16,943 refugee children aged 6 to 17 currently
out of school. In 2016, former Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated there
were 290,437 stateless children in the country. These disadvantaged communities are unlikely
to have access to quality education. From lack of financial means, funding, teaching materials,
and the expense of education itself, to simply being ostracized for their status, these are just
a fraction of the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Equitable access to education must be made available to all children regardless of race,
gender, religion, socioeconomic status, and nationality. With no access to proper resources
(such as access to suitable devices, study materials and teachers) a solution must be found
to bridge the digital divide.
UPLIFT aims to adopt a two-pronged approach to resolving this problem by:
Increasing access to digital devices
Providing specialized online tuition platforms for these communities for free.
PARTNERS
Malaysia’s largest free online
SPM tuition portal.

disadvantaged communities. We will be establishing a professional
