Q & A

What is the SGPM Quality School initiative?

The SGPM Quality School initiative is a system developed by the Ministry of Education in Malaysia to help schools assess and improve their quality of education. It involves self-assessments by schools to identify strengths and weaknesses, and it uses an online system (MOIS) to track progress and guide improvements.

Why was the SGPM Quality School system introduced?

The SGPM Quality School system was introduced to standardize the quality of education across schools in Malaysia. It builds on previous systems such as SPPN, which were modified over the years to adapt to global educational demands and ensure better quality management in schools.

How does the self-assessment process work in SGPM?

Schools use the MOIS system to conduct self-assessments, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses. After completing the assessment over a two-month period, local education authorities (PPD) validate the results, and schools develop improvement plans based on their findings.

What role does the Ministry of Education play in the SGPM Quality School system?

The Ministry of Education provides the framework for the SGPM Quality School system and develops the tools (like MOIS) that schools use for self-assessment. They also ensure the data collected from schools is used for training and improvement initiatives.

What are the key components of the SGPM Quality School strategy?

The key components of SGPM include self-assessment by schools, verification by local education authorities (PPD), data-driven decision-making, and the continuous development of school leadership and management through training and coaching.

What are the benefits of using the MOIS system for schools?

The MOIS system simplifies the self-assessment process by enabling online data entry, reducing paperwork. It provides schools with accurate, real-time data to assess their own performance, identify areas for improvement, and streamline administrative processes.

How does the SGPM Quality School system ensure that schools improve over time?

The SGPM system encourages continuous improvement by using self-assessment data to identify strengths and weaknesses. Schools then create action plans to address the areas needing improvement. Additionally, local education authorities provide guidance and training to help schools enhance their performance.

How does the SGPM system differ from previous educational assessment systems like SPPN?

SGPM is more focused on self-assessment, allowing schools to evaluate their own performance and determine their improvement needs. Unlike previous systems such as SPPN, SGPM emphasizes the use of data collected directly from schools and provides more autonomy to schools in their improvement process.

What are the different levels of performance that schools can be categorized into under SGPM?

Schools are categorized into four levels under SGPM: Excellent, Good, Adequate, and Needs Immediate Action. These categories help to identify the level of performance and the required actions to enhance the school's quality.

How does the SGPM Quality School system contribute to the overall educational goals of Malaysia?

The SGPM Quality School system supports Malaysia's broader educational goals by ensuring that schools are continually improving, helping to develop competent leadership, and ultimately preparing students to meet global educational standards and contribute to the country's future development.
