KOTA KINABALU, July 20 (Bernama) -- Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has called for the ‘Citra Gadis Unggul’ (GADIS) programme to be expanded nationwide, making it a key agenda to nurture and empower female students in their academic pursuits.
She said that empowerment initiatives must begin early to unlock the full potential of young girls and shape them into holistic and outstanding individuals.
“This is one of our current priorities…to raise awareness among girls about their right to quality education and their ability to pursue their dreams in life.
“Having spent years as an activist, I now champion GADIS as a vital empowerment agenda. Only education has the power to transform the future of our children,” she said in a Facebook post today.
Earlier, Fadhlina attended the GADIS programme at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Salaping in Kota Marudu, organised in collaboration with strategic partners of the Education Ministry.
She also took part in awareness sessions focusing on reproductive health and mental well-being for students during the event.
