Superior EdTech in Souteast Asia

Leading country in terms of EduTech makes better the learning of the students.

1. Singapore

Singapore is located at the North of Indonesia, South of Malaysia and East of

Brunei.

Singapore's education institutions are considered among the most advanced in

the world with regard to information technology. In the future, all Singapore schools
will be connected to the Next Generation Broadband Network (NGBN), which will
provide ultra-high speed wireless connectivity. In Singapore, one of the main impacts
of technology is a shift in the mindset of educators to discover how curriculum and
the teaching environment can become more learner-centered through the enabling
of ICT. Instead of always relying on the traditional curriculum, we now have more
experiments with modular approaches, flipped classrooms and learning content
beyond the shores of Singapore. One of the advantages of ICT is that it can expand
access to education. Through ICT, students can access online course materials
anytime and anywhere, learning at their own pace. E-discussion forums allow many
students to discuss learning content at the same time. Video clips, audio sounds and
graphical presentation bring content to life.

EdTech Features:
Master plan One : (1997-2002) started out by aiming to allow students to have
computer usage for 30 percent of their curriculum time in fully networked
schools and at a computer to pupil ratio of 1:2.
Masterplan Two (2002-2008) moved beyond the provision of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) resources to encourage teachers to use
ICT profitably in teaching and learning.
Masterplan Three (2009-2014) builds on the platform laid by the first two
Masterplans to transform the learning environments of the students through
ICT and equip the students with the critical competencies to succeed in a
knowledge economy.

North-West of Brunei and South-East of Sri Lanka.

Malaysia has a long-term vision, usually referred to as Vision 2020 which

calls for sustained, productivity-driven growth, which will be achievable only with a
technologically literate, critically thinking workforce prepared to participate fully in the
global economy of the 21st century.
In order to support the countrys ICT master plan and in line with the countrys
drive to fulfill Vision 2020, the education system has to be transformed for which the
initiative of Smart Schools took place. The aim of these Smart Schools is to help the
country achieve the aims of the National Philosophy of Education as well as to foster
the development of a workforce prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
