The Malaysian Ministry of Education has announced that digital textbooks will be implemented in Malaysian schools in stages beginning from this year. To be offered as an alternative to physical textbooks, the move will see students being able to access their textbooks online from this year onwards.
The implementation of digital textbooks is yet another step in the 13-year Malaysia Education Blueprint (Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia (PPPM)), which spans from 2013 until 2025. The gradual introduction of digital textbooks will see the move being staggered into three stages, where the first stage will see students offered both physical and digital textbooks via the 1Bestarinet platform. Currently, the ministry notes that there are already 313 textbooks uploaded and available online via 1Bestarinet.
The second stage, which will be implemented from 2016 to 2020, will see digital textbooks that are more interactive for selected subjects, with graphics, video elements and even animations introduced to aid students’ learning processes. The final stage, to be implemented from 2021 until 2025, will see all textbooks converted into digital formats, and students will be allowed to bring their own tablets to access the textbooks.
meanwhile our internet speed is A JOKE AND A LAUGHING STOCK for the whole world to see
ha? seriously please check..u can said that 5-6 years ago..but not now…price u can joke but not speed
Speed is still a joke if you start comparing ours with, say, even Singapore’s.
why don u compare with thai or indo or viet?
Awesome. We should always compare ourselves to someone worse so we can feel better. We really need more people like you in the country.
We have decent speed (unless ada kaki torrent memang la whole network within same network lembap)… don’t talk those wireless… unifi & time provide decent speed… but not the case of pricing…
I just don’t get it. Why the minister does not look at the school infrastructure (especially old school) and manage at least 20 students for each class.
