PETALING JAYA: The smartboard initiative set to roll out by the Education Ministry to all schools nationwide by 2027 is a positive first step, but the ministry should consider the broader, long-term vision for education transformation, say stakeholders, parents and teachers.
Prof Datuk Dr Ahmad Ibrahim from UCSI University Tan Sri Omar Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy said providing smartboards to all schools can be a powerful move to enhance teaching, especially in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), but only if certain conditions are met as there are some potential advantages and challenges.
