Speaking at the Rimbun Education 2018 closing ceremony, chairman of the Rimbun Education Foundation, Datuk Raveendra Kumar Nathan said that the programme gained traction with more schools having participated this year.
“From only four schools with 100 students in 2015, we have now grown to 12 schools with 300 students,“ he said.
