The document discusses bringing world class learning to Malaysia. It defines world class as excellence that is immediately recognized and adds significant enduring value by shifting thinking. World class learning has real-world relevance driven by inquiry, is meaningfully assessed, and involves high cognitive challenge, purposeful feedback, and social construction. World class teaching includes setting clear learning intentions, differentiated challenging tasks, formative feedback, and developing metacognition. It can be developed through substantial professional development, active teacher collaboration, and identifying and replicating elements of world class teaching. World class technology avoids replicating the past, focuses on holistic learning, and makes learning compelling through personalization and analytics. A world class system relies on peer innovation and social capital within schools.
