Yes, you read that right – zero tuition fees.
42KL, located in Sunway FutureX, is based on the intriguing concept of peer-to-peer learning, where there are no formal classes or teachers – students take charge over their own pace of learning and tutor each other in a 100% hands-on project environment.
There are educational staff but they only create the framework to guide students through the curriculum. There is a network of similar 42 coding schools around the world. The first was established in Paris, France, in 2013, and the second in Silicon Valley, the US, in 2016.
