The concept of smart school is not new. In developed countries, smart schools have shifted the paradigm of focus on student needs and capabilities and individual student development.APIIT Smart School Sdn Bhd, a part of the APIIT Education Group commenced operations in January 2006. Their objective is to provide an educational structure that allows for the mental, academic and physical growth of each child in a nurturing and personalized environment.
The Malaysian Smart School Flagship was premised on the strong belief that information and communication technology is a key enabler to imparting the learning desire to all. The impact of technology on education and future generations is undoubtedly enormous. The Smart School Flagship is one of the seven flagship applications envisaged under the Multimedia Super Corridor initiative. It was implemented on a Pilot basis between 1999 and 2002. Deemed one of the most forward-looking ICT-mediated learning initiatives in the world, the Smart School Flagship attempts to reinvent the teaching-learning processes.
In technical jargon, the Malaysian Smart School is a learning institution that has been systemically reinvented in terms of teaching and learning as well as the improvement of the school management processes in order to help students cope and leverage on the Information Age. Smart School is not just about ICT intervention in teaching and learning.
| The national curriculum and pedagogy are given the highest importance, with the role of teachers, administrators, parents and the community enhanced in the education of the Malaysian students. Individuality, creativity and initiative amongst the students are prioritised. However, ICT is critical in making the teaching and learning processes easier, more fun and effective, | as well as making communication and management among the stakeholders more efficient. The Malaysian Smart School is a place where all students can learn within a conducive learning environment. It offers various curricula with on-going evaluation, handled by professional administrators and teachers |
