JHEP advances SDG 5 (Gender Equality), Indicator 5.3.3

Pauh, Perlis — The Student Affairs Department (JHEP), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) is strengthening women’s access to opportunity through a comprehensive ecosystem of mentoring and leadership development, financial inclusion, and targeted access pathways. In 2024, activities delivered across 119 pillar programmes involving 13,380 students (including young women) helped build skills, visibility, and networks for women leaders on campus and beyond.

These are delivered across UniMAP’s seven pillar programmes:

  • Kepimpinan dan Jati Diri
  • Patriotisme dan Kenegaraan
  • Kemasyarakatan dan Kesukarelawanan
  • Pemantapan Akademik
  • Kecemerlangan Bakat
  • Keusahawanan dan Kelestarian
  • Kerjaya

This breadth ensures that women have multiple entry points to develop confidence, professional readiness, and a strong sense of civic responsibility.

Financial Inclusion for Women from B40 Households

To reduce barriers to participation and progression, female B40 students are supported through zakat and SULUNG (first-generation) schemes. These instruments help with essentials and study-related costs so that talent—not financial circumstance—determines outcomes.

Targeted Pathways & Recognition

JHEP also facilitates visibility and access to national platforms for women students:

  • Atiqah Elya — 3rd place at the Anugerah Perdana Belia Negara (APBN) 2024, Perlis state level.
  • Nurul Syazwani — selected to represent UniMAP in the YSS (Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa) student volunteer mission.

Such achievements reflect the value of coaching, nomination, and administrative support that open real-world opportunities for women to lead and serve.

How This Supports SDG 5 (Gender Equality), Indicator 5.3.3

What we support: SDG 5, Indicator 5.3.3 — Women’s access schemes (mentoring, scholarship, other targeted support).
How we support it:

  • Mentoring & leadership: Scalable programmes (leadership camps, public-speaking/debate, student leadership tracks) give women structured, repeated opportunities to practice and grow.
  • Scholarship/financial inclusion: Zakat and SULUNG reduce financial barriers for B40 women, sustaining engagement and completion.
  • Other targeted support: APBN recognition and YSS representation demonstrate access to national platforms and service pathways for women.

Together, these mechanisms directly advance SDG 5.3.3 by increasing women’s access, retention, leadership visibility, and progression in academic and co-curricular pathways.

Targeted Aid, Real Impact: UniMAP Supports Bottom-Income Students Through SULUNG & Zakat

JHEP advances SDG 1 (No Poverty), Indicator 1.3.4

Arau, Perlis — The Student Affairs Department (JHEP) of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) is strengthening social mobility by delivering targeted financial support to students from the lowest-income households. In 2024, the flagship SULUNG programme—a financial-aid scheme for first-generation students—supported 140 students across three cohorts: SULUNG 1.0 (8 students), SULUNG 2.0 (32), and SULUNG 3.0 (100) (HEPA Annual Report 2024, p. 33).

Alongside SULUNG, JHEP channelled zakat disbursements to 1,100 students, including RM500 per recipient via Tabung Haji, to help cover essential living and study costs (p. 31). Together, these measures reduce immediate financial stressors and sustain academic continuity for the most vulnerable student groups.

Why This Matters for SDG 1.3.4

What we support: SDG 1 — No Poverty, Indicator 1.3.4 (Bottom financial quintile student support).
How we support it:

  • SULUNG directly targets first-generation learners—often from bottom-income households—lowering financial barriers and improving the likelihood of persistence to graduation.
  • Zakat assistance provides an additional safety net that stabilises day-to-day needs, reducing dropout risk linked to financial hardship.

Together, these targeted interventions directly advance SDG 1.3.4 by ensuring students in the bottom income quintiles can remain enrolled and complete their degrees.

2024 At-a-Glance

  • SULUNG beneficiaries: 140 (1.0: 8 • 2.0: 32 • 3.0: 100) (p. 33)
  • Zakat aid: 1,100 students supported • RM500 per recipient from Tabung Haji (p. 31)

Program SUK@ PERLIS / #SUKAPERLIS ini adalah kesinambungan daripada Program Bakti Siswa (BAKSIS) Perdana UniMAP yang bermula pada tahun 2004;mula diperkenalkan dengan memberi khidmat serta penglibatan Mahasiswa UniMAP bersama komuniti setempat di Negeri Perlis. Pada tahun 2013 program BAKSIS ini telah mula dilaksanakan di seluruh negara melibatkan pelbagai komuniti di seluruh Negeri di semenanjung Malaysia. Namun begitu, akibat kekangan kewangan, perubahan dasar dan pandemik Covid-19 telah merencatkan pelaksanaan BAKSIS.

Tanggungjawab mahasiswa dalam pembangunan komuniti harus dilihat sebagai satu peranan penting untuk membangunkan komuniti setempat seiring dengan kemajuan arus globalisasi. Aspek pendidikan, pendedahan dan pengetahuan berkaitan kemajuan perlu disampaikan oleh kumpulan mahasiswa melalui aktiviti tanggungjawab sosial demi pembangunan sejagat.

Dengan adanya aktiviti seperti ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan semula keyakinan komuniti terhadap kualiti Mahasiswa Universiti yang sebelum ini dilihat gah sebagai sumber motivasi generasi muda terhadap pembangunan nilai-nilai insaniah komuniti dari pelbagai aspek.

Tambahan lagi, pelaksanaan program ini menyahut seruan YB Menteri Pendidikan Tinggi untuk memberi tumpuan terhadap pembangunan mahasiswa kearah “Smart and Sharp” iaitu dapat melengkapkan pelajar kita dengan kepintaran mengurus manusia dan kebijakan mengurus teknologi. Bukan sekadar memahami intipati ilmu dalam disiplin yang mereka pelajari dalam bilik kuliah.
