The Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) is a programme introduced under the

MBMMBI policy that will improve the English proficiency of students through increased
exposure in schools. It is a reinforcement of the 1999 MOE circular on implementing English
enrichment activities in and out of class. It also aims to inculcate positive behaviours
towards the learning and usage of the English Language.
While the 1999 circular already states that schools are required to implement English
enrichment activities, the Ministry recognizes that its implementation has been yielding
varying levels of success across schools in the country. This is largely due to different levels of
understanding and operational know-how.
The main objectives of the HIP in school are
 to introduce interest among students, teachers and the community towards English.
 to increase students' interest in English learning beyond formal class.
 implementing the MOE instruction that is to engage in English among students,
teachers and school communities.
 nurturing English at school level.
  As such, HIP is being introduced to put in place a mechanism of support, such as peer-
to-peer learning, support by coaches, district and state officers, a toolkit that considers
different levels of readiness and greater involvement from parents and community.
