THE Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry and the Education Ministry have joined forces to promote out-of-class activities for students in an effort to boost appreciation and knowledge about Malaysia’s history, culture and heritage among youth.

The ministries jointly launched the Inspirasi Pelajar Inovasi Muzium (IPIM) programme, which is aimed at integrating all students through the concept of cross culture using a combined approach of formal and informal education, said Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching.
