School Adoption Programme Broadband in Schools Other Community Initiatives

School Adoption Programme
This initiative saw TM contributing cash and in-kind resources in the adoption of 2 rural schools, namely, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Indera Muda and Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Penanti, both in Bukit Mertajam, Penang under the national PINTAR programme. TM’s involvement in these schools has been through the provision of ICT infrastructure such as broadband connectivity and PC equipment, ICT training and instruction, study visits, motivational talks, IT camps, financial assistance and scholarships to students with academic potential as well as school maintenance and repair.

SEKOLAH PINTAR PINTAR is all about Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talent and Advocating Responsibility. It is a collaborative corporate responsibility initiative carried out by the Government Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia to foster academic excellence particularly in rural schools. PINTAR was designed to support and build capacity for schools through the GLC Transformation programme, using the guiding principles and best practices framework found in the Silver Book. The framework for the programme focuses on educational excellence particularly amongst the less privileged and vulnerable communities. Under this programme, which is initiated by the Ministry of Finance and implemented by Khazanah Nasional’s Transformation Management Office, TM has adopted two schools, namely, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Indera Muda (SKBIM) Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Penanti (SKSP), both in Bukit Mertajam, Penang. TM’s main objective is to encourage academic excellence, increase awareness and capability building in ICT knowledge and skills amongst students and teachers of both these rural schools so as to allow them an even playing field with their urban counterparts. Among the activities carried out to support these objectives are teambuilding (for students and teachers), IT training for teachers and students, and character development programmes. Bridging the digital divide is one of TM’s CR focus under its community and nation-building platform. TM is investing more than RM400K towards this programme, which will run over a 3-year period, from 2007 until 2009.

Broadband in Schools TM kicked off its e-School project, which is a 3-year broadband initiative for schools aimed at raising awareness of the benefits and usage of broadband to enhance the learning experience. Beginning in 2007, TM commenced a pilot project in the Klang Valley by adopting 3 schools, namely, SMK USJ 12 Subang Jaya, Selangor, SMK Seksyen 11, Shah Alam, Selangor and SM(Laki-laki) Methodist Kuala Lumpur. For this project, TM provided these schools with broadband access, applications, services and specialised training for students and teachers at a cost of over RM781,000. A TM eSchool web portal incorporating the Web School Management System (WSMS) and the Learning Content Management System (LMCS) was introduced in the schools involved to help facilitate the broadband assimilation process.
