Recently, I took some time off to attend a dialogue session titled
'Education in the 21st Century - Our Impact', which was organised by
LeapEd Services (‘LeapEd’) and focused on their flagship Trust Schools
Programme (TSP 1.0). It was an insightful session for all of us as we
learned more about the efforts implemented for education transformation
in Malaysia.
The Impact Study revealed that the programme has had an overall positive impact in Malaysia’s education sector
LeapEd was established as a Social Enterprise in 2010, and is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Berhad. They’re also
Malaysia's first homegrown education service provider! LeapEd aims to
enrich lives through capacity-building and education transformation and
has impacted over 71,000 students in 160 schools through its various
intervention models
such as the District Transformation
Programme- AMAN ('DTP-AMAN'), Islamic School Enhancement Programme
('ISEP'), Group-up School Transformation ('GUSTO') programme, Program
Sekolah Transformasi ('PreSTasi'), as well as the nation's first Trust
Schools Programme (TSP 1.0) to date. Their Education Philosophy revolves
around leaners, for them to realise their innate potential. This in
return will add value to their communication skills as a whole.
TSP
1.0 is LeapEd's flagship programme designed to develop holistic
students with 21st century capabilities, and is carried out in
collaboration with Yayasan AMIR and the Ministry of Education.
TSP 1.0 looks at improving student outcomes and revitalising school
culture. Since its roll-out in 2011, the TSP 1.0 has impacted over 5,300
parents and 65,000 students in 83 schools across 12 states in Malaysia.
By empowering school administration and leadership team (school
management, teachers, students and parents), TSP 1.0 hopes to develop
schools that embed sustainable educational practices for the future.
Speaking
at the dialogue session, Managing Director of LeapEd Services Sdn Bhd,
En Zulhaimi Othman said, "The Trust Schools Programme was designed with
the future generations in mind. Over the past 9 years, we have worked
closely with our strategic partners such as the Ministry of Education
and Yayasan AMIR to develop and implement the programme across schools
in Malaysia, equipping students with the critical life skills they
require as well as transforming schools in a holistic manner by adapting
international best practices." This recent study was conducted to
review the effectiveness of TSP 1.0, identifying opportunities to
further enhance the model moving forward.
Brian John Ambrosio, Head of State Education Advisory Services, speaking at the dialogue session
Increase in professional competencies
The Impact Study was carried out via mixed methodologies involving
surveys, interviews and observations with over 3,000 respondents
including school staff, students and parents. The study
also
revealed that 95% of secondary school teachers and 76% of primary school
teachers moved by at least 1 level up the scale, of Starting to
Developing or Enhancing to Extending.
Moving up the scale
indicates a paradigm shift in the level of knowledge, skills, thinking,
pedagogy and practice, showcasing growth in the teachers’ career. In
many cases, professionals may not even experience one level of shift
throughout their entire career as it requires continuous self-reflection
and growth mindset.
Respectively, 86% of primary and 91% of
secondary Middle Leaders observed a minimum progression of 1 level. As
for the Senior Leadership team, 76% of primary and 83% of secondary
Senior Leaders indicated a minimum progression of 1 level. Of the 124
Middle Leaders surveyed, 8% indicated a progress of 3 levels, equivalent
to a very high level of teaching excellence. The study also showed that
TSP 1.0 has had a positive impact on the professional competencies of
school staff, allowing them to nurture students and provide quality
learning in the classrooms.
High quality teaching and learning
Over 3,139 students and parents interviewed reported that students
under TSP 1.0 received quality teaching. The study also shows that
parents reacted positively to the programme as they observed an increase
in opportunities for students to be involved in the life of the
schools, as well as an increase in the frequency and level of
interaction between schools, parents and the wider community.
Furthermore, school climate is both a strong influencer of students'
life satisfaction, well-being and student outcomes.
TSP 2.0 Underway
The TSP 1.0 approach focuses on working collaboratively with the
school management team, teachers, students, parents and the community.
In order, to ensure that the programme remains sustainable and scalable,
the impact study also identified opportunities to further enhance the
transformation model. An area that was identified is customising
interventions depending on the individual need of each school. This will
allow expansion of the model to better cater to groups with specific
needs such as indigenous and minority groups, students with special
needs, as well as to those in rural communities.
Zulhaimi added,
"We believe that investing in education is the smartest decision one
can make. Education provides opportunity which in turn empowers people,
cultivates creativity and improves confidences and self-belief. Through
the Impact Study, we have seen how the Trust School Programme has
positively impacted the lives of teachers, students and parents.
Leveraging on the success and learnings of this programme, we are
committed to continue working with our partners to implement a new and
enhanced model, TSP 2.0, which will be aligned to global trends and
national aspirations."
The TSP 1.0 transformation approach focuses on public-private partnership ('PPP') outreach model, working collaboratively with school leadership teams, teachers, students, parents and the community. To ensure that the programme remains transformative, sustainable and scalable, the research also identified opportunities to further enhance the programme. Some of the areas identified including customising interventions, depending on the individuals needs of schools. This will allow expansion of the model to better cater to groups with specific needs such as indigenous and other minority groups, students with special needs, as well as rural and under-enrolled schools.
Hence, TSP 2.0 is the next evolution of LeapEd's Trust School Programme, which leverages on the success and learnings of TSP 1.0 Designed as a model that is both sustainable and scalable, TSP 2.0 has been launched in 2019 in selected Malaysian public schools.
Zulhaimi added, "We believe that investing in education is the smartest decision one can make. Education provides opportunity which in turn empowers people, cultivates creativity and improves confidences and self-belief. Through the Impact Study, we have seen how the Trust School Programme has positively impacted the lives of teachers, students and parents. Leveraging on the success and learnings of this programme, we are committed to continue working with our partners to implement a new and enhanced model, TSP 2.0, which will be aligned to global trends and national aspirations."
With TSP 1.0, students will be able to thrive in the 21st century
global environment through five critical life skills of confidence,
communication, creativity, critical thinking and co-existence.
This
intervention model sees school administration teams, teachers and
parents work together towards developing the potential of every learner.
I sincerely hope that more corporations would come onboard and support
this transformation journey as funds are very much needed in this
public-private partnership. If you’re interested to find out more, do

Last Sunday I have attended the event of Jordan Oral Care Malaysia at Old Wing One Utama, you can visit my vlog by click on the link to view.
The
Finding Jordan Picasso annual art contest by Jordan Oral Care Malaysia
has ended on a high, with thirty talented children from all over
Malaysia
winning attractive prizes worth RM 30,000. The two categories included
Category A of children between the ages of six and nine, and Category B
of children between the ages of ten and twelve.
Sandee
Chai, Regional Marketing Manager for Jordan Asia Pacific said, “The
Finding Jordan Picasso contest has been running for three years in row.
With this year’s theme being ‘My Favourite Food,’ we endeavour to
remind children to brush their teeth thirty minutes after each meal.”
In
order to participate in the contest, children between the ages of six
to twelve were tasked to create art pieces depicting their favourite
meals
using non-digital mediums, with some going as creative as using
recycled materials to build a delicious looking art piece. Sandee said,
“A part of Jordan’s philosophy is sustainable living as we are 100 per
cent Eco at Heart. Using recycled materials in the
children’s art pieces definitely deserves a thumbs up from us!”
Deputy Head of Mission at the Royal Norwegian Embassy, Erlend Sannes Hadland, who was also present at the event
said, “Encouraging
and nurturing creativity is important in a child’s development. Art is a
form of self-expression, and a form of communication.” He continued,
“I am happy that Jordan has been encouraging creativity in children
through their Finding Jordan Picasso contest. This year’s food-related
theme which comes with a reminder to brush your teeth thirty minutes
after a meal further enforces Jordan’s commitment
to both dental hygiene and fostering the love of art in children.”
