Received the sad news of the passing of one of DPP UKM's students, Sister Amierah Aqeelah binti Arbin, who was involved in a road accident on Jalan Apas, Tawau this afternoon, April 10, 2026.
The deceased was a final-year student of the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Cohort 6) specializing in Geography, who had been undergoing practical training at a secondary school in Tawau since early March. It is understood that the incident occurred while the victim was on her way home from the school where she served.
The entire Faculty of Education, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) wishes to extend its deepest condolences to all family members and acquaintances of the late [Name].
Truly, this departure is a great loss for the faculty and fellow comrades. The nation has lost a dedicated aspiring educator, passionate about seeking and imparting knowledge.

UKM FACULTY OF EDUCATION VISITS SMKS PADANG PAK AMAT: INJECTING MOTIVATION FOR SMKS PADANG PAK AMAT STUDENTS TO REACH THE TOP
Bangi, April 8, 2026 – The Faculty of Education at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) today received a study visit from a delegation from SMK Padang Pak Amat, Pasir Puteh, Kelantan. The purpose of the group's visit was to provide early exposure to the academic environment at the tertiary level and to motivate students to remain enthusiastic about pursuing higher education after completing their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations.
The arrival of 32 students and 4 accompanying teachers was warmly welcomed and attended to by the Dean of the Faculty of Education, YBhg. Prof. Dr. Mohd Mahzan Awang. The school delegation was led by the Principal of SMK Padang Pak Amat himself, Mr. Wan Zainal Wan Jaafar. Also present to add to the welcoming session were the Deputy Dean of Industry and Community Network Relations (HEJIM), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Khairul Azhar Jamaludin, and the Head of HEJIM, Dr. Syar Meeze Mohd Rashid.
The visit session began with a brief introductory briefing on the history and achievements of UKM and the role of the Faculty of Education in producing quality graduate educators. The agenda then continued with a welcome speech by Prof. Dr. Mohd Mahzan Awang and a reply speech by Mr. Wan Zainal Wan Jaafar, who expressed his gratitude for the faculty's willingness to receive their visit from afar.
To ensure the objectives of the visit were achieved, students attended a special session delivered by Dr. Khairani Ismail. In the session, she emphasized aspects of learning motivation and provided clarity on career paths and the requirements to become a professional teacher.
This visit is the best platform for students from rural areas to experience firsthand the academic environment at one of the country's leading research universities. Through direct interaction with faculty members, students are expected to be clearer in determining their educational direction.
The program concluded with a souvenir exchange session and a photography session as a memento of the goodwill visit between SMK Padang Pak Amat and the Faculty of Education, UKM.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website's UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website's HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you've found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we'll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website's operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, understand, and enjoy the website's functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here's how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website's components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website's images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users only need to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website's HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allowing the focus to drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F" (forms), "B" (buttons), and "G" (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anyone to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continuously improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
