Poor quality phones will only deter students from online learning, tech experts and education group say

KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 — Issuing low-quality smartphones to students could do more harm than good to their efforts to adjust to the new norm of online learning, according to several tech experts and children's empowerment groups.

“The screen is not even in high definition and the battery capacity is just inadequate for today’s standard,” he said, adding that the government should put a minimum specification guideline for smart devices to be offered for online learning. “This is because tablets and Chromebooks have bigger screens, better connectivity and also a longer battery life. The range should be between RM400 to RM700 and it must come from an established manufacturer to ensure the quality and performance of the phone.

They explained that gaming mechanics could be an important aspect to improve students’ motivation for learning and foster creativity. Perak Education, Higher Learning and Human Resources Committee Ahmad Saidi Mohamad Daud chairman recently claimed that the low-quality phones were issued on purpose to prevent students from misusing them.
