The Malaysian government has decided to implement high-rise school pilot projects this year to address the challenges of limited land space and the increasing demand for schools, particularly in high-density urban areas. This initiative is planned to be introduced in Putrajaya, Penang and Kuala Lumpur, as part of a collaborative effort with strategic corporate partners.

According to the Ministry of Education, the high-rise school concept is expected to reduce construction costs while ensuring that students have a capable access to education. The decision follows a meeting between Prime Minister Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim and top officials from the ministry, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions in the education sector.

The idea of high-rise schools is not entirely new. Previously, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) had proposed constructing school buildings with two blocks ranging between 10-17 storeys in the city centre. Yesterday it was said by the Prime Minister that it is confirmed that this initiative will be introduced.

“A multi-storey school initiative in cooperation with the corporate sector will be introduced to address the problem of school density in urban areas. This can not only optimize the use of educational resources and infrastructure, but also ensure a more conducive learning environment for students and teachers.” said the Prime Minister in his social media post.

Safety Concerns and Education

While this initiative presents a practical solution to urban land constraints, the National Union of the teaching profession has expressed concerns about the safety of students and teachers in high-rise buildings. The union warned that overcrowding in schools may lead to significant risks, especially during any emergency evacuations.

In addition to the high-rise school project, the education ministry has outlined reforms aimed at strengthening the education system. One main key initiative includes the introduction of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes in boarding school starting with five institutions.

The government has also reaffirmed their commitment in enhancing language proficiency among students. As part of the effort taken, all students will be required to learn and master both Malay and English, meanwhile teachers skills in these languages will also be improved.

With urbanization on the rise, the high-rise school initiative marks a crucial step in reimagining education infrastructure in Malaysia. As pilot projects unfold, their effectiveness in addressing space constraints, cost efficiency and student safety will be monitored closely.
