The document discusses using an S-curve model to analyze the lifecycle of the current ICT education system in Malaysia. It argues that the system is currently in the declining stage due to a mismatch between the technical skills taught and skills needed by employers. It proposes revamping the education system by introducing more technical and soft skills earlier, updating university curricula, adding industry engagement opportunities for students, and developing next-generation ICT education programs.

1. Team name: 3Is,
Multimedia University (MMU)

2.  Mismatchbetween the capabilities needed
by employers and ICT job seekers
 Rapid technological innovation
 growing needs of non-technical skills
 Qualityand skills of workers improve
 Improve FDI for ICT industry in Malaysia

3.  S-curve
 Analyze lifecycle of a system
 Four stages:
i. Infancy
ii. Growth
iii. Maturity
iv. Decline
 S-curve tells at which stage the system is
currently in.
 For the system in different stages, S-curve also
gives some advices for its development.

4. Ideality = costs harmful effects
technical skill soft skill

 The current ICT education is at the declining
stage as the technical skill of ICT graduates
cannot cope up with the growth in technology.
 Thus, it is necessary to revamp the ICT education
system.

5.  Infancy:
 Introduce technical skill in primary and secondary
education (computer programming, data
communication, computer networking, digital
logic)
 Update ICT curricula of tertiary education to
match the technological trend
 Growth:
 Guest lectures from industrial experts
 Internship engagement for pre-final year students
 Talent engagement for final year students

6.  Maturity
 Virtual intelligent profile information exchange
(similar to MUET but for ICT skills) designed by
industrial player.
 Introduce specialized and professional training
programs
 Consider the development of the next generation
ICT education based on future trend and
requirements.
 Decline
 Gradually replaced with the next generation ICT
education.
