KSI National Education & Learning Summit 2020
PEEAM has been invited by KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific to attend the National Education and Learning Summit 2020, which was held at Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on 28th July 2020.
Introduction:
Malaysia’s education in 2020 began with much turmoil, especially following the resignation of YB Dr. Maszlee Malik as Minister of Education on the first day of the school year. With detractors and supporters of Pakatan Harapan’s first-term education policies polarizing Malaysian society, much of the public’s focus was diverted away from the efforts already undertaken, overshadowed by political interests. Almost two years after the change of government, the dust has still yet to settle on what changes have been brought from the previous administration and which education policies have been retained.
As Malaysia finally approaches its long-awaited Vision 2020 moment, it is an apt time to reflect on whether its educational progress has indeed reached the level of developed nations or if it is still lagging behind.
The 2020 National Education and Learning Summit provides an opportunity for those passionate about education to share their insights on the current progress and obstacles faced by Malaysia’s education sector. It is a unique opportunity for stakeholders from the private sector, public sector, and third sector to deliberate on matters concerning education and devise a new path forward.
