A 3.6-year learning loss.

Our children spend 12.5 years in school but learn the equivalent of only 8.9. *World Bank, Malaysia Economic Monitor, April 2024

 

Nearly 1 in 3 Year 5 students aren’t reading at the expected level*.

At 15, more than half have yet to reach minimum reading proficiency. *SEA-PLM 2024; OECD, PISA 2025

 

From Year 5 to SPM, children from poorer and rural families are more likely to fall behind.

A child's background continues to shape their educational outcomes. *SEA-PLM 2024, PISA 2025, SPM 2025

 

Education inequity comes in many forms, but it perpetuates the same cycle.

Without support, its effects carry into adulthood and
the workforce. Unless we all win in education, we all lose.

 

That’s why we recruit, train and develop leaders to teach in high-need schools across Malaysia.

Teachers are the single biggest in-school factor for how well a student learns. *World Bank, Malaysia Economic Monitor, April 2024
