CREATING THE DIGITAL MAKERS OF TOMORROW
A joint public-private-academia initiative, Tech Talent @School aims to transform Malaysian youth from digital users to creators in the digital economy by nurturing an interest in technology at a young age.
Central to this initiative is #mydigitalmaker, a movement launched in August 2016 to create a nation of digital innovators amongst school students. The movement inspires students to adopt skills such as coding, app development, and data analytics. The movement also strengthens our students’ problem-solving skills.

Key Strategies
To be successful in developing the future tech talent of Malaysia, we have established two key strategies as follows:
- We work with and support the Ministry of Education to integrate computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) subjects into the national school curriculum. Both subjects have been rolled out to national schools in 2017.
- We partner with the tech industry and academia to nurture and groom talented young Malaysians into future digital innovators.

Malaysia’s push for tech-based education in the national school system has reached new heights, with more than 500,000 students now able to receive proper education over core tech subjects. Here are some key figures as of 2018:
