Students with world-class knowledge and skills, strong moral values and capable of competing with their peers from other countries are among the major impacts envisioned by the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025.

According to the blueprint, launched by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today, students will also learn in an environment where the fundamental belief is that all students can learn and all students can succeed.

NONE"Students will have a richer school experience, both academic and non-academic, so that they can excel in life. Students will have a greater say in shaping their learning experience," it said.

Its impact on the teacher is that it will develop the world-class capabilities needed to facilitate desired student outcomes and gain more enjoyment and fulfillment from their jobs.

"Teachers will have the support they need to succeed and will enjoy better working conditions, performance-based rewards and enhanced pathways and will be immersed in a culture of collaboration and professional excellence," according to the blueprint.

Meanwhile, school leaders will become excellent instructional leaders and act as agents for change and enjoy closer support and enhanced services from federal, state and district education officers.

"They will have the support and resources they need to guide their schools effectively," it said, while ministry officials will receive targeted support, training and resources needed to fulfill their new roles and responsibilities.

They will work in a collaborative and transparent environment and will receive greater operational flexibility and accountability.

The blueprint said parents will see tangible and sustained improvement in the educational experiences of their children.

There will be increased transparency around a school's performance and priorities, and parents will be constantly kept in the loop as to how their children are performing at school, both in terms of achievements and areas for development.

"Parents will have better understanding of how their children are developing and how they can help them improve and also have more opportunities to provide input into their school's improvement strategies," said the blueprint.
