JHEP advances SDG 5 (Gender Equality), Indicator 5.6.6

Pauh, Perlis — The Student Affairs Department (JHEP), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) is expanding meaningful opportunities for women students through a structured ecosystem of mentoring and leadership development. Centred on Program Pemimpin Mahasiswa and Kem Kepimpinan Mahasiswa UniMAP, these mentoring pathways combine staff–student coaching, peer-support circles, and practical leadership clinics that help women build confidence, competencies, and campus impact.

What the Mentoring Looks Like

  • Staff–Student Coaching: Guided mentoring with academic and professional advisors focused on goal-setting, communication, and decision-making.
  • Peer Mentoring Circles: Small-group, near-peer spaces that provide encouragement, accountability, and problem-solving for academic and co-curricular challenges.
  • Leadership Clinics & Camps: Hands-on practice in public speaking, debate, project management, and stakeholder engagement—translating leadership theory into action.
  • Pathways into Roles & Service: Participants are supported to step into student leadership roles, competitions, and community service initiatives across faculties.

How This Supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality), Indicator 5.6.6

What we support: Women’s mentoring schemes (SDG 5.6.6).
How we support it: By operating structured, accessible mentoring programmes—blending advisor guidance, peer mentoring, and skills clinics—JHEP creates sustained, practical pathways for women to participate, persist, and progress into leadership and service. This directly advances SDG 5.6.6 on women’s mentoring schemes.

JHEP underscores commitment to SDG 1 (No Poverty), Indicator 1.3.2

Pauh, Perlis — The Student Affairs and Alumni Department (JHEP) of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) continues to remove financial barriers to higher education through SULUNG, a targeted financial-aid programme for first-generation students entering university. In 2024, a total of 140 students received SULUNG assistance across three cohorts: SULUNG 1.0 (8 students), SULUNG 2.0 (32 students), and SULUNG 3.0 (100 students) (HEPA Annual Report 2024, p. 30 and 33).

SULUNG functions as a focused intervention for learners from the lowest-income households who face the greatest risk of dropout. By easing immediate financial pressures, the programme helps students stay enrolled, progress academically, and ultimately complete their degrees. This targeted support is anchored within JHEP’s broader welfare ecosystem.

A Comprehensive Support Ecosystem

Beyond SULUNG, JHEP disbursed RM 1,943,852.75 in student aid to 7,090 recipients in 2024, comprising:

  • Welfare Scheme: RM 1,805,115.00 (6,735 recipients)
  • Health Scheme: RM 138,737.75 (355 recipients)
    (HEPA Annual Report 2024, p. 30)

This combination of targeted (SULUNG) and universal (welfare/health) support ensures that students from financially vulnerable backgrounds can continue their studies with stability and dignity.

Alignment with SDG 1 (No Poverty), Indicator 1.3.2

What we support: SDG 1, Indicator 1.3.2 — Bottom financial quintile student success.
How we support it:

  • SULUNG directly lowers financial barriers for first-generation students—commonly from the lowest income quintiles—improving persistence and completion.
  • Wider welfare and health assistance provides a safety net that reduces dropout risk stemming from financial hardship and wellbeing challenges.

Together, these mechanisms directly advance SDG 1.3.2 by driving success among students from the bottom income quintiles.

2024 At-a-Glance

  • 140 SULUNG beneficiaries: 1.0 (8) • 2.0 (32) • 3.0 (100) (p. 33)
  • RM 1.94 million total aid to 7,090 recipients (p. 30)
  • Welfare: RM 1.81 million (6,735 recipients) (p. 30)
