Fadhlina: New curriculum to teach pupils safe use of digital platforms, AI
PETALING JAYA: The new Form 1 and Year 1 curriculum next year will focus on teaching students how to use digital platforms safely, said Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek announced that the upcoming Form 1 and Year 1 curriculum will focus on teaching students how to use digital platforms safely and ethically. She emphasized the importance of asking better questions when utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) rather than merely expecting it to provide answers. The new curriculum will introduce digital skills to Form 1 students, who will learn about these skills in the coming year.
Fadhlina urged pupils to uphold ethical standards and verify the accuracy of information found online. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo also attended the ceremony, emphasizing the need to check the authenticity of online information. He highlighted that digital platforms provide students with a significant advantage, as they can access vast amounts of information online, far exceeding what is available in school libraries.
However, both ministers stressed the importance of using technology responsibly and understanding it. They encouraged students to adopt and empower themselves with digital tools while ensuring the information they use is accurate and not misleading.
