Dear Principals, Teachers & Parents,

School Educational Trip in Malaysia has grown over the years and despite being a school-sanction official event, we have seen many instances
where its trip content nor its handling is un-educational in nature. It borders adult leisure tours with the sole objective of shopping and sightseeing.
There was an urgent need to introduce a comprehensive content that truly benefits the school and its students and most importantly, its student
handling, which must secure parents confidence and support.
In 2004, JTB has formulated a program to serve that purpose and 9 years later, it has since evolved into a powerful educational tool that has attracted participation from the Private & Government Schools and the Higher Institutions. We invite you to read on and support this program.

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SBT and Kluster Schools)

Why JTB Educational Program Different from the rest ?

Reliability Factor
Back by a multinational premier travel network, Japan Travel Bureau (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, have continuously handled incoming Japanese Schools
under the cultural exchange program (endorsed by M.O.E) for more than 20 years. In return, JTB has successfully arranged outgoing trips to Japan for Malaysian schools for the past 7 years. Japan school arrangements is through Japan State Governments educational arm. Should an
emergency occur, both JTB Japan & JTB Malaysia will activate our Standard-Operating-Procedure to handle crisis management.
Student Handling Factor
JTB incorporates Japanese-styled management approach where safety, quality and accountability are placed as its utmost importance.
Only reliable airlines, strategically located hotels, quality food (which cater for various religion) and insured coach will be arranged.
On safety measures, 1 Adult: 10 students ratio, different hotel floors by genders, night curfew, room spot-checks, disable pay-per view,
hotel lobby guardian will be strictly observed. 2 Japanese-speaking JTB Program Coordinators will be involved through-out the program.
Educational Factor
The itinerary is 100% customized, its content and logistics formulated towards Educational in nature, and is totally incomparable with other
itineraries found in the general leisure market. Program Module focuses 3 elements; Official School Visit, Educational Workshops, Hands-on
Experience. These areas requires formal appointments and some requires Japan State Government involvement. In addition, our Program
Managers will inject Japan educational learning values through-out guiding the trip. Recently, JTB has began incorporating Ministry of Educations PBS module where students will be assigned and undertake PBS related activity as well as focusing the Malaysian school niche-area study
during its Japan school visit. Certificate of Participation will also be issued by JTB for this purpose.
Financial Rebates & Upgrading Factor
Japan State Govt. has acknowledged JTB efforts in bridging Malaysia and Japan closer through educational trips and has allocated a Fund with
the objective to lower the expenses without comprising on its comfort, security and content. In addition, JTB on its own efforts has applied various
student rebates for its ground services, remove any hidden costs or tipping (which normally associate with Adult trip) where only students pocket
money and some meals needs to be added. In some occasions (as proven before), JTB has upgraded the flight, hotel, added extra night, extra
meals at our expense when more financial aid is made available.
Additional Services Factor
JTB prepares the students in embracing Japan by offering basic Japanese Language lessons & Homestay cultural tips and provide Japanese
translation & interpretation during school visits. To further calm parents anxiety, JTB will upload a series of photos cum report featuring the student
activities through-out the day onto its nightly blog for viewing purpose. In case of communication, parents are welcomed to contact JTB mobile
phones which will be on 24-hours basis. Muslim students can be rest assured that 1 of JTB Program Managers is a Muslim and food arrangement
will be seriously taken into account and prayer time observed.
