Ahead of the Deepavali celebrations, the Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi Malaysia (KPTM) has announced new provisions to support online and hybrid teaching and learning (PdP) modes during the festive period. This initiative aims to ensure educational continuity while allowing students and teachers to celebrate the holiday season meaningfully.

The Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an AI?focused polytechnic in Lumut, Perak, under the 13th Malaysia Plan. Built for strategic growth in digital talent, the institution will offer certificate and diploma programmes in artificial intelligence, with operations expected to begin within one to two years.

Looks like primary and secondary school students in Malaysia are in for a treat. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the government will provide high-speed broadband internet subscription packages to schools under the Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM) from 1 July 2024. That said, what should you know about it?

Previously, we mentioned the PMX announcement on the increased service tax and funds to combat online scams. But it does not end there, the Prime Minister also announced a whopping RM510 million for the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation, and the Ministry of Higher Education.

If there's anything we learn from MCO last year, is that the government would probably extend another two weeks. This has forced many businesses to adapt to the situation and so do schools. With that in mind, the Agency of the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) and Perbadanan Kota Buku (PKB) have developed an app called KPM eTextbook Reader for the students at home.
