KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): In less than a month after the launch of Education TV channel DidikTV KPM, various reactions have been received from the community about the Education Ministry's (MOE) efforts to increase access to education nationwide.
As soon as it came on air, DidikTV KPM was bombarded with criticism at a teacher featured in one of its programmes, with some questioning MOE's credibility in maintaining content quality.
Others questioned DidikTVs approach to the concept of edutainment, which seemed to stray further from the original purpose of the implementation of Education TV (

SINGAPORE: In his speech on Tuesday (Feb 16), Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat described inequality as a “mega-shift” in the wake of COVID-19.
The pandemic had indeed laid bare the fault lines between the haves and have-nots – especially when it came to implementing the great Home-Based Learning (HBL) exercise during the circuit breaker last year.

Lawrence Wong: S'poreans should prepare for rapidly-changing future to avoid fate of Blackberry

Rethink, unlearn and relearn
In a pre-recorded speech that was played on the third and last day of the Middle East Institute's annual conference, Wong said that in a turbulent world, the ability "to rethink, to unlearn things that we may already know because the knowledge is outdated, and to relearn" is required.
He further elaborated that this set of cognitive skills requires "agility and nimbleness of mind, as well as the humility to listen to others and to stay open to new ideas, and then continually update our thinking as circumstances change".
Wong added that while rethinking and retooling are skills that needs to be constantly practiced, the irony is that "sometimes the more successful we are, the more difficult it is to change".

Donation of tablets for needy students

FOR close to a year now, students in Malaysia have been forced into home-based learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in schools being closed for an extended period.
Many have been left behind due to their inability to afford digital devices such as tablets, smartphones and personal computers.
To meet their needs, a public relations firm recently donated 50 tablets to non-governmental organisation Pertubuhan
Kasih Umat Malaysia (PKUM), which is on a mission to provide digital learning devices to some 43,000 poor students in the country.
ShekhinahPR spent RM20,000 to purchase the tablets at a discounted rate, as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) project.

SINGAPORE: A device management application (DMA) installed on students' devices does not track personal information such as their location, identification numbers or passwords, said the Ministry of Education (MOE).
In response to queries from CNA, the ministry said the application will, however, capture data on students' online activities such as web search history to "restrict access to objectionable material". It will also capture device information such as the operating system to "facilitate troubleshooting".

These S'pore volunteers are working to give rental HDB blocks S$3-a-month WiFi access

The WiFi project aims to
enable access to the internet from home, and will be complemented by other programmes to
elevate the IT capabilities within the communities by training youths to be able to troubleshoot issues and even fix laptops.
It's a comprehensive, coherent plan that — as Wah reiterates many times in our conversations — is geared toward sustainability.
With connectivity and digital readiness becoming more and more of a daily necessity, the impact of what the group is trying to do cannot be understated.
Community matters
Wah says that BDIC is currently speaking to corporate sponsors who may potentially come on board to cover the initial set-up cost.

IPOH, Jan 27 — The Malaysian Community Internet Centre (PIK), which has strong Internet access, is an alternative for parents who cannot afford to provide gadgets or devices for their children to follow home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) from their own-home.
A Bernama survey at the PIK in Kampung Tersusun Batu 8 in Tambun here yesterday found that the initiative by the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia turned out to be the nucleus for students who need computer and Internet facilities.

Anxiety over exit exam for Malaysia's school leavers amid Covid-19 pandemic

KUALA LUMPUR - With half of the 2020 academic year in Malaysia massively disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic, over 400,000 school leavers are facing the bleak prospect of being unprepared for an already twice-delayed exam that Malaysians believe could make or break their future.
Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), equivalent to the O-level exam in Singapore, is still scheduled to begin on Feb 22, having been first postponed to January from November last year.
The unrelenting wave of Covid-19 cases - hitting a record 4,029 new daily infections last Saturday (Jan 16) - has forced the Education Ministry (MOE) to limit Wednesday's reopening of physical classes to last year's candidates for SPM, as well as students sitting the pre-university Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) and vocational school-leaving exams.
