The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education (Star-NiE) programme has penetrated thousands of classrooms in Malaysia since it was launched in 1997, by our then Education Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. This year, the programme celebrates 20 years as a learning resource. Much like a “living textbook”, The Star and its 12-page NiE pullout bring authentic life experiences into the classroom. The colourful pullout, published on Wednesdays, is written by a team of experienced English language teachers. The activities are packed with ready-made hands-on activities for the classroom. The annual NiE contest for students engages them in activities that go beyond textbook learning like storyboarding, magazine writing and photojournalism. The pullout adheres to syllabus-based topics and is endorsed by the Education Ministry. The contests are held in collaboration with the Education Ministry.
