The current study seeks to analyse the potential of this curriculum module that is based on local community’s skill for the undocumented immigrant children in Sabah. For that purpose, interviews were conducted with 12 individuals who are of M13 card holders, alternative education instructors, volunteers, local university lecturers, National Security Council’s officer, Educational Planning and Research Division’s officer of Ministry of Education and also the NGO’s.
