The Perak State Development Corp (PKNPk) is enhancing digital literacy and modern media skills among primary school students through its StratCom Jr. Programme. This initiative, in partnership with Sekolah Kebangsaan St. Michael (SKSMI) in Ipoh, aims to equip both students and teachers with essential digital communication, critical thinking, and media production capabilities.
PKNPk CEO Datuk Redza Rafiq Abdul Razak emphasized that early exposure to media and communication skills is crucial in establishing a robust media literacy foundation and promoting critical thinking.
The program, initiated in 2024, focuses on imparting basic skills that form a strong groundwork for future demands. According to Datuk Razak, the aim is to develop students' ability to use technology wisely, think critically, and communicate responsibly. The collaboration unfolds gradually, supported by professional guidance and advisory services to help students master digital communications and create structured, creative, and effective content.
In support of the program, PKNPk provided an iPhone 15 along with essential media accessories to SKSMI. This contribution aims to bolster the school's media team, enabling them to produce high-quality digital content and document school activities effectively. For PKNPk, state development transcends merely industry development, investment attraction, or economic growth; it also encompasses nurturing talent and fostering people-centric initiatives.
