“…This result was supported by Abdullah et al (2013), which concluded that Malaysian teaching pedagogy is a stereotype and fails to stimulate students' enthusiasm for attending school. Additionally, literacy in language learning among indigenous school pupils is found to be well below the national average (Letchamanan et al, 2021). Supported by Sawalludin et al (2020) that the attitude of indifference to education had caused the failure to improve the quality of education among indigenous school pupils.…”

The Education Ministry is committed to implementing the indigenous Education Transformation programme via the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013 -2025 to ensure they receive quality and relevant education in line with current needs. The aim is to raise the attendance rate and encourage 100 per cent of indigenous school pupils' enrolment with special programmes as well as an education transformation programme for the group. In line with the Government's aspiration, the main objective of this study is to examine the quality of education of indigenous school pupils in the district of Kuala Lipis, Pahang, Malaysia. This study used a semi-structured in-depth interview for data collection. Respondents were selected based on purposive sampling and comprised seven candidates: two officers from the Education District Office and Teacher's Training Institute and five schoolteachers around Kuala Lipis. The data for the quality of education of the indigenous school pupils were summarised thematically into two categories: skills for learning (the way to know) and skills for personal empowerment (the way to be). The skills for learning were divided into the pupils' creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The pupils need encouraging teaching and learning activities to motivate them to participate in the teaching and learning process. One of the best ways is to include music and adventurous activities (e.g., chopsticks and tree climbing) to add more fun to the teaching and learning activities. School teachers must be creative and innovative in the classroom to ensure that learning would always relevant and suitable for their interests. The skills for personal empowerment were categorised into self-management, resilience, and communication. The findings indicated that indigenous school pupils possess the same potential as non-indigenous school pupils and are equally intelligent. However, they need continuous encouragement and motivation to move forward. In terms of resilience, indigenous school pupils could adapt to the changes in the environment, but the adaptation takes time. This study extends the existing literature by examining the factors that influence the quality of education of indigenous school pupils. This study only focused on examining the skills for learning and personal empowerment. Another limitation of this study is that the respondents were the administrators and schoolteachers

Background: Adequate health literacy is necessary for individuals as it enables them to readily acquire information, process it, and apply it to health-related decisions. Various factors including geographical area will determine the disparity in health literacy status. Communities living in protected areas have limited health literacy and health status owing to a lack of access to infrastructure and medical facilities. Existing studies have discussed health literacy among various populations disproportionately affected by certain diseases. However, research remains underdeveloped, and the causal factors are largely untested. This research aims to better understand how population living conditions especially those who are living in protected areas are affected and exposed to limited health literacy. Method: This study will comprehensively review full-text papers published between 2013 and 2023. We will search 3 databases, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science, using the keyword search strategy to find articles related to the issue. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses will be used to guide the selection of relevant studies. The results will then be assessed using the standard Cochrane Quality assessment method. The outcome is addressed in light of a narrative synthesis that utilizes a theme category and focuses on each component’s main conclusions. Result: This protocol describes the planned scope and methodology for the systematic review and meta-analysis that will provide current evidence on; The status of health literacy among the community in protected areas and; The effect of Protected Areas on health literacy according to their types and characteristics. Conclusion: Meta-analysis of low-to-high health literacy status will benefit the development of policy recommendations for protected areas.
