KOTA KINABALU (May 13): Five Sabahan youths who are studying at Keningau Vocational College (KVC) have published articles themed around World Book Day in an English language magazine issued by an educational institution in Indonesia, STKIP PGRI Pacitan.
The latest edition of the magazine known as E-Magz which features these articles was released on April 30, 2025, and it can be accessed via the link:
These students are from various vocational programs including early childhood education, cosmetology, bakery and pastry, and business management. Their articles discuss the role of books in human civilization, the importance of reading culture in society, and the practice of writing personal life stories.
They are Jeorgienn Yvelle, Syehekeel Daniel Hanry, Rosselina Senora Ungkak, Nurul Huriyah Mahirin and Rabiatul Adawiyah Hardy. These authors drafted and completed their articles in English with the guidance from their teacher who served as the editor and mentor. After finalizing their articles, they submitted them to the magazine, which eventually accepted them for publication. The magazine is published once every two months and only selects six articles for each edition out of all submissions.
The college director, Lumang Anak Lang, expressed pride and joy over this achievement since language and writing skills are essential for all students and this is a great platform for students to develop their skills further.
He hopes that the college's students will continue to hone their talents and seek appropriate platforms to apply the skills they have learned and this includes their English language skills.
