Kajang, 16 February 2025 – The German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) proudly hosted the Get Ready for University Program (GEAR Up) 2025 from 14 to 16 February 2025. This marks the second time GMI has been given the opportunity to host the program by the Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), which successfully prepared 100 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) leavers from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya with the skills needed to smooth transition to university or college life. 

Participants were given the campus tour to the classrooms and advanced technology centres in GMI.

Organised in collaboration with Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), the GEAR Up 2025 focused on developing leadership qualities, global communication skills, and strong personalities among participants. Over three transformative days, participants engaged in activities designed to enhance their English language proficiency, teamwork, and confidence – critical tools for university readiness and global competitiveness. They also explored GMI’s advanced technology centres and classrooms, gaining insight into the institution’s hands-on learning approach.

Among the activities designed to enhance teamwork among participants.

The closing ceremony, held on 16 February 2025 at the GMI Auditorium, was officiated by Ms. Hartini binti Mustaffa, Deputy Director of the Education Sponsorship Division (BPP), MARA.  Also present were Ts.
