Graduates of the Master of Education in Educational Psychology program thru UPM's smart coastal program have successfully completed their studies and received their Master of Education degrees at UPM's 49th convocation on December 3, 2025.
These 12 graduates are teachers from the Northern Zone and recipients of the Part-Time Federal Training Scholarship (HLPS) for Education Service Officers (PPP), KPM, under the SMART COASTAL PROGRAM in collaboration with Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Despite their different backgrounds, they united for the sake of knowledge. They endured various thorns and thistles. Their laughter, joy, and happiness throughout this 2-year journey actually hid the tears, stress, and complaints beneath the surface.
Some were on the verge of failing, some were burdened, and some had even changed the routine course of their lives. Behind the challenges they face, there are positive hands reaching out, bringing joy and hope to help them navigate this journey.
The joy on the faces of each of these individuals is tinged with immeasurable appreciation, especially toward the lecturers of the Faculty of Educational Studies, UPM.
