The document discusses smart schools in Malaysia. It provides background on how ICT was identified as key to achieving Malaysia's Vision 2020. Smart schools were launched in 1996 as part of the Multimedia Super Corridor initiative to transform education through technology. Smart schools apply ICT to teaching and learning through wifi, labs, projectors, and interactive whiteboards. They also use ICT in management systems. While smart schools face challenges like teachers' and students' lack of ICT skills and high expenses, they aim to prepare students for a knowledge-based economy through technology-mediated education.
