Equips SMK Paya Rumput with high-speed broadband connectivity to promote digital learning via latest innovation in teaching and learning
Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), being a responsible corporate organisation mindful of its role towards nation building, today added Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Paya Rumput (SMK Paya Rumput) in Melaka to its list of adopted schools under the TM School Adoption programme, in collaboration with PINTAR Foundation.
The TM's latest adopted school was officially launched by YB. Rusnah Aluai, Member of Parliament of Tangga Batu. Izlyn Ramli, Vice President, Group Brand and Communication, TM and Ir Ramlan Omar, State General Manager, TM Melaka were also present at the launching ceremony.
Speaking at the event, Izlyn said, "The TM School Adoption programme continues to bring the latest in teaching and learning solutions delivered via a seamless broadband connectivity for the improvement of our adopted schools. We are happy that the programme is now expanding its reach and vast benefits to yet another state with the adoption of SMK Paya Rumput. We also hope that this programme will help facilitate SMK Paya Rumput in achieving its objective under the Transformasi Sekolah programme by the year 2025 (TS25) as aspired by the Minister of Education."
"As part of the Company's contribution under our Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiatives, we are pleased to share that we have provisioned the school with our 100Mbps unifi service, enabling teachers and students to enjoy fast broadband internet access and WiFi connection. TM, via our education arm, Multimedia University (MMU) and its partners will conduct Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)-related programmes such as 3D printing and data logging, together with online learning which will benefit not only the school but also the surrounding communities. Meanwhile, in collaboration with the Faculty Creative Multimedia (FCM) of MMU, we will run a Proof of Concept (POC) of a Smart Attendance System using facial recognition software at the school. We hope that by the end of the POC, we can offer this state-of-the-art attendance system to other schools in Melaka and ultimately, nationwide. We also hope that with the exposure to such technologies and innovations, the communities will be encouraged to adopt a more digital lifestyle, as we move towards a Digital Malaysia," added Izlyn.
The TM School Adoption programme is aimed at creating awareness on the importance of good academic achievement among students from low income households to give them the opportunity for a better future. It is a holistic programme that encourages the involvement of parents and community at large to attend IT, motivational courses as well as Parenting Seminars to become better equipped in educating their children.
TM School Adoption Programme started in 2003 and to date, TM has adopted 15 schools around Malaysia with two (2) active schools namely SMK Paya Rumput, Melaka and Sekolah Pendidikan Khas Pekan Tuaran, Sabah. Throughout the years, TM has allocated more than RM2.4 million for its school adoption programme.
Thus far, the programme has touched more than 20,000 lives including students, teachers, parents and community members of the surrounding areas where the adopted schools are located.
