KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis eKelas', a student grant scheme, is back once again to motivate and inspire students to achieve their academic goals by rewarding those who have shown progress in their grades at school.
Targeted to Form 1 to Form 5 students, Anugerah Gemilang will be rewarding cash grants for up to 100 students, based on strict evaluation criteria and assessment.
eKelas, Maxis' community programme is an after-school digital learning initiative for students from Year 4 to Form 5, it brings learning enrichment in a fun and vibrant way and provides access to quality educational content, in line with the Malaysian School Syllabus.
Focusing on Science, Mathematics and English, students are exposed to experiential learning through a combination of live tutorials, group learning, competitions, and digital content via the portal and app.
"We are proud to see the continued growth of eKelas over the years and Anugerah Gemilang is a popular and key highlight of the programme and a great incentive for students to do well in the three subjects. We have received encouraging response in submissions in the past, and we urge more students to register for eKelas now and take the first step by completing the assessment quizzes on the portal," said Maxis' chief corporate affairs officer, Mariam Bevi Batcha.
To qualify for the award, students must achieve a minimum of one grade improvement in two or all three of the subjects taught in eKelas, which are English, Science and Mathematics.
Eligible students can submit their final school exam results for the previous and current year which entitles them to receive RM600 and RM1,200 for those improvements respectively, which will then be deposited into the students' National Education Savings Scheme (Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional) accounts.
As a prerequisite, students must complete pre- and post-assessment quizzes on the eKelas portal from now to Dec 31, 2022 to qualify for the award.
They will then need to submit their post-assessment results and applications for Anugerah Gemilang from Mar 1 until Apr 30, 2023.
