Government to launch Malaysia Education Blueprint Friday

The Government through the Ministry of Education will launch the National Education Blueprint, Friday.

The plan among others will see students equipped with knowledge, thinking skills and bilingual proficiency.

The reforms will be carried out in 11 shifts:

1. Provide equal access to quality education of international standard.

2. Ensure every child is proficient in Bahasa Malaysia and English language.

3. Develop values-driven Malaysians.

4. Transform teaching into a profession of choice.

5. Ensure high-performing school leaders in every school.

6. Empower state and district education departments and schools to customise solutions based on need.

7. Leverage ICT (information, and communication technology) to scale up quality learning across Malaysia.

8. Streamline the Education Ministry’s delivery capabilities and capacity.

9. Partnership with parents, community and private sector.

10. Maximise student result for every ringgit spent.

11. Increase transparency for direct public accountability.

In addition to the 11 shifts, there will also be three “waves” to monitor the progress of the blueprint.

The blueprint will also focus on producing six key “attributes” for the student: knowledge, thinking skills, leadership, bilingual proficiency, ethics and national identity.
