Campus co-operatives are co-operative societies
operating in the campuses of schools, colleges, polytechnics
and universities. With the advice and assistance of teachers,
campus co-operative offers students first-hand experience of
running a co-operative on sound economic and co-operative principles.
Campus co-operatives' membership is open
to students, teachers, lecturers and staff of secondary schools,
junior colleges, polytechnics,
institute of technical education (ITE) and universities. These co-operatives
provide a variety of services to their members such as sale
of books, stationery, IT services, sports goods, canteen services,
travel etc.
Objectives of Campus Co-operatives
* Promote the economic interests of its members.
* Encourage thrift, co-operation, self-help and mutual assistance among its
members
* Promote and popularize the buying and selling of educational materials, consumer
goods and services on a co-operative basis.
* Establish and operate such co-operative schemes, ventures or projects subject
to the approval of the registrar.
* Develop entrepreneurial skills of members through exposure to various types
of co-operative activities.
* Inculcate in members self-discipline, self-reliance, responsibility and accountability
and to provide opportunities for total character development.
Campus Co-operative As a Co-Curriculum
Activity
The educational values and experience gained by the students were also recognised
by Ministry of Education. The Ministry has in fact endorsed the students' participation
in campus co-operative as a Co-Curriculum Activity (CCA). Students who involve
in this activity can qualify for bonus points in the CCA Grading Scheme. The
Ministry has also left the formation of such co-operatives to schools and colleges.
