#LearnFromHome YTL Foundation today announced
it has uploaded 278 new lessons covering the entire national primary and
secondary Bahasa Melayu curriculum for Standard 1 through to Form 5 onto its Learn
From Home content platform at www.ytlfoundation.org/learnfromhome
1,272 Bahasa
Melayu, English, Maths and Science lessons available free.
The move comes just ahead of the new national
schools’ academic year, which starts on Wednesday, 20 January 2021. Same goes
to MR and MH, start schooling today via google classroom and/or zoom class.
Announcing the initiative, YTL Foundation
Programme Director Datin Kathleen Chew said, “With movement restriction orders
intensified around the country amidst rising COVID-19 cases and most students
still unable to attend school in person, we know that many parents are very concerned
about the continuity of learning. This is especially so in the new academic
year, as children move into new classes and age groups, and some into new
schools. In the midst of this unfamiliarity and uncertainty, we want to empower
parents and students with materials and resources for online learning at home.”
“Learn from Home levels the playing field in education by equipping every
child with the tools to learn, wherever they are. Our Frog School content covers the
whole syllabus for core subjects in Government schools. Parents can literally
start with Lesson One and follow the lessons through to the end of the year
from Standard 1 to Form 5, and we even have content for Pre-school children,”
she said.
YTL Foundation’s Learn From Home
Initiative was launched in March 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic to
help parents support their children’s learning with minimal disruption. A key
pillar of the initiative is Frog School, which is a repository of free
online lessons and quizzes developed in collaboration with FrogAsia, a not-for-profit
organisation committed to equipping teachers and learners with knowledge, information and skills through the effective use
of technology.
Datin Kathleen added that the Bahasa Melayu
lessons for Standard 1 through to Form 5 now available on the site were
co-created by a team of eminent subject matter experts from Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), who worked closely with FrogAsia’s content
development team to ensure the material was comprehensive, easy-to-navigate and
engaging.
With the latest addition, Learn From
Home now offers 1,272 curriculum-aligned lessons on Frog School,
covering Bahasa Melayu, English, Maths and Science, developed by FrogAsia in
partnership with content providers UKM, Pelangi, Teach For Malaysia, Kindity and
MYReaders.
Students who use the Learn From Home platform can also access
more than 13,500 revision quizzes covering the same learning content, through the
FrogPlay mobile gamified app.
There is also a Learn From Home
Parents’ Guide, which offers a range of tips, from basic for parents whose
children can learn independently, to more detailed guidance on helping a
younger child understand each lesson and achieve learning goals. To start
guiding their children, parents can read the Parents’ Guide in English or Bahasa
Malaysia while their
children can read the students’ version.
In addition to the learning content, Learn from Home
also supports students by equipping them with the connectivity they need to
access the lessons, through its telecommunications partner, YES.

Students
from Government schools and universities can apply for free YES 4G prepaid SIM
cards with 40GB of data valid for 2 months and B40 families can also
