Thah, Soon Seng monitoring and evaluation Malaysian Smart School Initiative MSSI ICT education technology learning administration Malaysia, like many countries in the region, has invested heavily in the use of ICT in schools since 1999. Unlike many other countries, Malaysia does not rely on a single specialized agency or a particular division of the Ministry of Education to implement its ICT in education programmes. Instead, the Malaysian government rolled out a nation-wide initiative known as the 'Smart School Initiative', which is based on strategic public-private partnerships involving various stakeholders including ministry, industry, and community. This case study examines how the Malaysian Smart School Initiative (MSSI) was developed and implemented in its initial years. The study demonstrates that the MSSI was the result of a deliberate, holistic approach to incorporate the use of ICT in Malaysian schools. The MSSI involved not only the use of ICT in the teaching and learning process, but also in the management and administrators and technicians in using ICT effectively in their daily practices. 2017-03-15T16:22:21Z 2017-03-15T16:22:21Z 2016 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/396631488313507885/Building-and-sustaining-national-ICT-education-agencies-lessons-from-Malaysia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26265 English en_US SABER-ICT Technical Paper Series; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper East Asia and Pacific Malaysia
