KUALA LUMPUR: The implementation of the 2027 School Curriculum (KP2027) is expected to open wider opportunities for mainstream students to learn Malaysian Sign Language (BIM) as an additional language, while strengthening inclusive practices and increasing awareness among school communities about persons with disabilities (PWD).
Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said the initiative complements the efforts of the Education Ministry since 2011 in providing the Communicative Sign Language (BIK) subject and Basic Education for Individuals with Visual Impairment (Paikup) in primary schools through the Primary School Standard Curriculum for Special Education (KSSRPK).
