School Adoption Programmes TM actively contributes to future generations with our school adoption programmes: Programme PINTAR and Projek Sekolah Angkat Bersama KPKK & TM.
PINTAR PINTAR (Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talent and Advocating Responsibility) is a CR initiative carried out by GLCs in Malaysia to promote academic excellence, particularly among the less privileged and vulnerable communities in rural areas. Initiated by the Ministry of Finance and implemented by Khazanah Nasional's Transformation Management Office, PINTAR is designed to support schools in capacity-building. Throughout the PINTAR programme, we organise educational and ICT-based activities at our adopted schools to raise their academic standard and promote the attainment of excellence.
Projek Sekolah Angkat Bersama KPKK Dan TM Projek Sekolah Angkat Bersama KPKK dan TM is a collaboration between TM and the Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture (KPKK) to encourage the use of ICT in education. The project also introduces schools as community centres for ICT knowledge dissemination to bridge the digital divide. It uses the same model as PINTAR to achieve academic excellence, identify talent, inculcate strong moral values and benefit the surrounding areas.
In each school, a computer lab was built to provide ICT facilities and a centre for the computer classes, while the school libraries were upgraded to provide a better learning environment for students. Students, teachers and the local communities are being trained in computer skills using facilities provided by TM.
