Pulau Tuba - Allianz Eco Quest 2 - Pendidikan dan literasi bagi pelajar yang tercicir

Aug 13, 2026

Reportage on Pulau Tuba, where daily life is closely tied to fishing and long-term education can be hard to sustain. Children’s learning often depends on what happens in school, yet caregivers struggle with reading support due to limited schooling, caregiving burdens, and household instability. Allianz Eco Quest, launched on the island after a pilot, uses surveys, pre-tests, and targeted teaching for Years Four to Six to close literacy gaps and make learning feel connected to everyday life.
