Why Service-Learning?
Service-Learning (S-L) is a teaching and learning strategy that connects what you
have learnt and are learning in school (academic knowledge and skills) to the
community. S-L aims to develop you to have a strong sense of civic responsibility,
and to contribute. It offers hands-on application that increases the relevance of
academic knowledge and provides opportunities for deeper involvement in the
community.
