Block B: Brand New Cocu Subjects In The Works

By Munir Juman, PE 1st/1st

Tronoh, 13th March – According to Miss Hellina binti Ahmad Kamil, the senior executive of UTP Co-curriculum Unit, there will be at least 4 new co-curriculum subjects introduced to the UTP students. Two new subjects to be brought in are photography and futsal. “We will be presenting the proposal to the Academic Committee (AC) this month and (if approved by the AC) the Senate next month. Hopefully, students can expect to register for the two subjects starting next semester”, confirmed Miss Hellina.

For the second phase, percussion and a uniformed body seem to be in line. As stated by Miss Hellina, the proposal will be presented to the AC somewhere in May and the two new subjects will be made available for the students starting from September 2014 semester. “We’re thinking of Askar Wataniah, St. George and JPA for the uniformed body but, most probably it would be Askar Wataniah”, she added.

Also, she cleared the air regarding swimming as a co-curriculum subject in UTP. “Actually, swimming has already been approved by the AC and the Senate. Basically, it is already a subject and the syllabus is there. Our dilemma is in regard to the unavailability of instructors. So, we’re working on this for now”, she clarified. However, she finished with uncertainty, mentioning that these are all in process and it depends on the AC and Senate to approve the proposals.
