The education ministry will introduce a “co-teaching” approach in the 2027 school curriculum, which will see two teachers conducting lessons together in one classroom.
Education minister Fadhlina Sidek said this would make teaching and learning sessions more engaging and effective, and ensure that every student receives adequate attention.
“This will not be a case of teachers being assisted by teaching aides, but rather collaboration between two equal educators to make learning sessions more effective and engaging for students.
“We are confident that co-teaching, which involves active classroom interaction, is the best way to ensure that every student receives proper attention and to address the issue of learning gaps,” Berita Harian reported her as saying.
Fadhlina said her ministry has already started preparing teachers for the new approach through professional development and training programmes.
“Training sessions for the 2026 session have already begun this year, meaning that we will be fully prepared for the 2027 school year.
“Teachers are also ready for this integrated learning approach, which will be a new and enriching experience for them,” she said.
