We are thrilled to announce that the February 2025 SENIA World Changer Award goes to Nur Adira Mad Harim, a dedicated inclusion teacher at Keningau Vocational school in Sabah, Malaysia. Her impactful work has transformed the educational experience for students with disabilities, particularly those who are neurodivergent and those with hearing impairments.

At her school, which serves over 1,000 students, Adira champions inclusivity by ensuring that all learners can participate fully in school activities. She plays a vital role in translating speeches and talks during assemblies and educational events into sign language, making these experiences accessible to hearing-impaired students.

Adira’s passion for inclusivity doesn’t stop there. Inspired by her role as a sign language translator, she has taken the initiative to provide live translations of singing performances. This thoughtful addition allows learners who communicate through sign language to understand and enjoy the lyrics, ensuring they are not left out during musical events.Her innovative approach has received widespread praise, fostering a sense of belonging and engagement amongst all learners. 

Join us in congratulating Nur Adira Mad Harim for her outstanding contributions and commitment to creating an inclusive educational environment. She truly embodies the spirit of the SENIA World Changer Award!
