News & Reviews:   Malaysia education

Just over the weekend, Former Minister of Education and a Member of Parliament for Simpang Renggam, Dr Maszlee Malik has launched a new online e-learning platform for all the Malaysian students across the nation. Called as Sophia.my, it's a new initiative to help primary and secondary students to pursue learning especially those affected by the pandemic.

On top of the acceleration of moving to tech, the recent Malaysia Budget 2020 revealed an increased RM64.1 billion for education and with the Ministry of Education adopting Google Classroom for free, we were wondering, where might this extra money get spent? Well, a recent submission by a Mr Anonymous might have revealed that our students may not only be trading their heavy bags of textbooks for ebooks soon but also an Android tablet for school.
