Since 1968, secondary school students in Malaysia have been exposed to entreprenurship through School Co-operative. Without a doubt, Malaysia is well known as one of the few nations in the world that implement entrepreneurship education in school curriculum through School Co-operative.
Over the years, school co-operatives have evolved to more than just running retail outlets, kiosks and selling stationeries in order to generate income. In 2004, School Co-operative Tourism was introduced, bringing a breath of fresh of air to the School Co-operative Movement in the country. The program was inspired by the first former President of ANGKASA, Royal Professor Ungku A.Aziz in an effort to ensure the students receive firsthand experience of planning, managing and executing tourism program with the support from the government, teachers, parents and ANGKASA.
