The 4th Industrial Revolution is about driverless cars and mobile devices, what is the government doing to reduce the gap
between the urban and rural communities?
The government launched the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 or also known as SPV2030 which is all about reducing the gap
between the rural and the urban, the rich and the poor. It is a 10 year plan to restructure Malaysia's low-skill labour-intensive
economy to a knowledge-based economy. It will serve as a direction for the government to formulate economic policies over
the next 10 years.
What are the changes that need to be done to the Malaysian education curriculum to ensure that Malaysia achieves 4th
Industrial Revolution?
There is something called Education 4.0 and it is made up of a few components such as remote and personalized learning. It
is about being able to learn anytime, anywhere as e-learning tools provide opportunities for remote and self-paced learning.
Personalized learning would enable students to be assessed according to their capabilities. There is also technology in
education, which are the tools and techniques used to acquire knowledge. The Government is also starting to look at projectbased
learning and field-specific experience. There is also an element of data analysis and changes in exam patterns and
assessment. Students will no longer be assessed solely on their exam results but rather by analyzing their journey though
practical and experiential learning-based projects or field works.
