JOHOR BARU: The Education Ministry is enhancing the concept of e-learning.
Its Minister Dr Maszlee Malik said the teaching method could ensure that top talented teachers would not only be able to teach in their own classes but also nationwide.
He was commenting on Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s statement on introducing to schools a teaching method using video recordings by selected teachers,
“We have a number of platforms being developed and this is also Tun Dr Mahathir’s aspiration that we will be implementing. We are trying to start this by 2020. We will announce it when the time comes and Tun may be launching it,” he said after flagging off the Merdeka Special Charity Run 2019 in Pasir Gudang near here today.
During Dr Mahathir’s visit to the Ritsumeikan Elementary School in Kyoto, Japan, on Saturday, the prime minister had reportedly said that the teaching method of using recorded lessons would be shared with other schools to benefit their students and teachers.
“We try to ease teaching because not all teachers are the same. What we want is to benefit from the good teachers, record their lessons and it would be shared with teachers in other schools. These teachers will then guide and explain to their students,” said Dr Mahathir. -- Bernama
