1.         We are now living at modern era and truly facing Fourth Industrial Revolution. Strengthening ICT curriculum or updating the curriculum in every school is needed. So, outdated aspect of the curriculum will be eliminated in school.
Based on aspiration of Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025, to increase the enrolment of student in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, as known as STEM, ICT will be offered as compulsory subject at lower secondary level and as an elective subject at upper secondary level. STEM provides students with the opportunity to investigate information provided to them in order to understand it based on their own experiences strengthens their learning.
Good expo about STEM holding by University Kebangsaan Malaysia on July 7th 2018 having so many innovative programs and products. One example is come from Pintar Foundation and Hasanah Foundation in UKM. They applied their program about “iG-Home Inovasi Rumah Lestari” since two years ago. That foundation has a lot of programs and one of them is to educate student in 13 schools. So they come to every school and educate about how to make biogas, composting organic waste, and etc. and then the student have to practice the knowledge at that time and share the knowledge  to their family when they are at home. That program teaches the student to care about environment based technology that has been developing.
Besides STEM, computational thinking will be integrated into the learning modules in school. Computational thinking is the ability to think in a structured and logical way or we can say computational thinking as algorithmic thinking. So, STEM and computational thinking relates to others. If STEM children will learn in conceptual on their subject, computational thinking will educate the children about problem solving, thinking skills, innovation, creativity, and become an inventor.
All country trying to develop ICT curriculum in order to be equipped in this 21th century skills. Good news from theconversation.com (2015) said that “Victoria has recently developed a new subject for the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) entitled algorithmic. There are even materials for teaching algorithmic thinking without computers. The Computer Science Unplugged movement, led by Tim Bell and colleagues at the University of Canterbury, has developed resources that teach students concepts through movement and fun activities.” Based on that news, the teacher skills about technology and programming or coding are important to note to face this digital era.
What the government expects from this program is the younger generation will have strong foundation to be digital citizens so there is not digital gap among them and be future innovators. But it is not easy, need a lot of time and patience to reach that program. Not only government and teacher who support this program, but also parents and all people in this country.
