Lenovo and Microsoft recently announced a collaboration that aims to help schools in Malaysia adopt more technologies. Through the Lenovo EdVision programme, individuals and schools get access to online resources with Microsoft hosting workshops and provide tech consultation for school committee teams. This includes higher education institutions.

The programme was previously launched in the Philippines and Indonesia.

“Technology education is vital to securing the future careers of today’s students, and the future economy of Malaysia. Students in school today will enter into careers that have yet to be imagined – meaning that the fundamental structure of education is also changing. Lenovo understands the challenges schools face in transforming education and implementing new models of teaching, learning, and collaboration, while managing cost, efficiency, and security,” said, Lenovo Central Asia Pacific Education Transformation and Development Director, Khoo Hung Chuan.

“Children who start school from now on will grow up to be workers and leaders in a digital-first world that will demand new skills and new ways of thinking. Hence, we must ensure that they have the right access to the right tools and platforms to succeed. At Microsoft, we are committed to empowering every student on the planet to achieve more. Through our partnership with Lenovo, we aim to deliver personalized learning via easy-to-manage technology, supported by our Windows 10 devices along with Microsoft 365 Education, built for the classroom and beyond,” said Microsoft Malaysia Public Sector Group General Manager Sheikh Manzoor.

“At ISP, learning is at the heart of everything we do for our students, colleagues, and parents. We aspire to deliver effective learning experiences and outcomes using technology as the key enabler. We believe our close collaboration with Lenovo Malaysia will transform our schools to help the students thrive in the new norms,” said International Schools Partnership (ISP) Tech Regional Head, Leonard Thum.

“Thanks to technology, the way students are learning continues to change. We can foresee that many of today’s students will enter careers that have yet to be conceptualized nor conceived. With Lenovo, we are able to transform the learning environment to allow students to grow and hone their digital skills before stepping into the rapidly evolving digital world,” said Universiti Putra Malaysia Education studies Faculty Dean, Prof. Dr. Samsilah Roslan.
