What is the Fellowship?

The Fellowship is an intensive, full-time, fully-paid two years Leadership Development Programme designed to equip aspiring leaders with the skills, on-ground experience and network to create change in classrooms, communities and the education system in the long run.

You will work closely with the school and local community as a Teaching Partner to understand and address educational inequity from the roots, while building a global professional network of Alumni, partners and mentors, who are ready to guide and collaborate with you throughout your journey.

What Our Fellows Say

The culture of learning, personal development and collaboration in the Fellowship was very valuable to me. We learnt from watching each other, sharing our successes, our struggles and working through them together. But most importantly, we leaned on each other’s passion and motivation to give the best to our students.

The Fellowship certainly gives you people skills that may not easily be learned in a corporate environment. From improving in time management to learning how to cope with lots of work, I saw value in the Fellowship that I never truly realised until I transitioned over to CIMB.

After graduating Monash, I applied for PwC & got rejected. After the Fellowship, PwC contacted ME – they recognised the skill set I developed as a teacher.

The Fellowship is a unique opportunity for me to gain firsthand insight to real-life challenges faced by students and teachers, and for me to directly impact students in the classroom. I’m inspired by the movement of Alumni who come before me, who continue to fight for education equity even after the Fellowship. I challenge myself to become a better leader, so I can lead change not just in classrooms but in entire communities as well. By the end of my 2 years, I want to be able to answer those who ask me, ‘What are you doing to move Malaysia forward?’

Bachelor of International Relations, University of Nottingham, Malaysia

There are moments when I catch myself wondering if all that persistence I put in was worth it. A year of my life spent challenge after challenge, only to be faced with more challenges, navigating the challenges of leading a classroom. But now, after experiencing what it means to be a Fellow first-hand, I know for a fact that it was worth it.

I was right to have been so sure about joining this movement and I was right about Fellows truly making an impact. So all those hours of trying and struggling – they were tough – but they were also definitely more than worth it.
