SMART SCHOOL CONCEPTs
Malaysia Smart School is a learning institution that systematically redesigned in terms of
teaching-learning practices and school management to help children cope with the
Information Age. The
main components of the Smart School is as follows:
- Teaching and
Learning (P & P)
- Smart School
Management System

Human Resources, Skills and Attitudes

These
components will be evaluated and modified to ensure greater efficiency and
higher efficacy. Smart school is a school concept in Malaysia. This
concept will lead to the democratization
of education entirely.
This school is not just for smart people but it is a smart way to ensure that
each student - strong or weak, rich or poor reached its full potential in the
most suitable way rates and different learning styles.

CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
The readiness of teachers and students to adapt with the new concept of learning and teaching also
has to be considered. Besides that, lacking of technical staff to supervise
network also can be the challenges to implement the smart school concept. So
that, ongoing training and retraining teachers is needed. Smart Schools will
not prevail with only the infrastructures and students attending them.
Teachers, as the all-important agents, will be the ones who will actually
translate the transformation theory to transformation reality.

In my opinion, the implementation of SMART School is
quiet successful. However, it depend on the community to adapt
it. Government has shown their work to make it success and now it time for us to involve in this program to achieve our MALAYSIA
2020 goals.
