This document discusses Malaysia's Smart School Project, which aimed to reinvent the country's educational system using information and communication technologies. The Smart School Project was introduced in 1996 as one of the flagship applications of the Multimedia Super Corridor national initiative. It had the goals of producing a technology-literate workforce, democratizing education, increasing stakeholder participation, and providing well-rounded student development. The teaching-learning process and management/administration were key aspects addressed by the project over multiple waves from 1999 to 2020. Challenges included insufficient infrastructure and the need for more teacher training in applying Smart School systems.
