The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize the need for inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all (United Nations, 2021). However, a significant decline in student engagement and motivation has been observed, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a study by UNICEF and UNFPA 2020, one in five Malaysian students lost interest in schooling postpandemic, with children from single-parent households being disproportionately affected (Astro Awani, 2020). Furthermore, 10,160 students were absent from the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations in 2023 (Sinar Harian, 2024), and findings from the World Bank Group, (2024) indicate that 24% of students in Malaysia lack school-readiness skills, exacerbating challenges in academic participation and engagement.
