Late last year, our education authorities welcomed Malaysia’s performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment 2018.

It reinforces the numerous complaints raised by parents about public schools – all of which have led to Malaysians becoming disillusioned with the national school system.

The big draw here is hyper personalisation. For thousands of years, students have sat in a classroom-like setting and learned from a teacher who educates dozens of students at once. This has been the case not because it’s the best way to teach or learn but because that’s what the logistics of the day would allow.Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces, or ALEKS, allows students to go at their own pace and makes sure there are no knowledge gaps in their thinking.
