Equipping Students and Educators with Future-Ready Skills Across Southeast Asia and Oceania

As technology continues to reshape education, schools are looking beyond simply providing access to digital devices. The focus is increasingly on how technology, learning resources and educator capabilities can work together to support teaching and equip students with future-ready skills.

Through Samsung for Education and local education initiatives across Southeast Asia and Oceania, Samsung combines Galaxy technology, secure device management, digital learning resources, educator development and education partners to support schools at different stages of digital adoption.

Galaxy devices help create more connected learning experiences, giving students access to digital tools that support everyday learning.

Building Future-Ready Learning Environments

With a vision to democratise AI and digital access for all Malaysians, Samsung Electronics Malaysia has supported national initiatives such as the Ministry of Education's AI-Powered Classroom programme. Working closely with the Ministry, Samsung has been transforming traditional classrooms into fully integrated AI-powered learning environments designed to encourage deeper engagement, collaborative learning and digital literacy among students and teachers.

Samsung's AI-Powered Classroom brings together Galaxy devices, Interactive Displays and digital learning tools to support teaching and learning.

These classrooms are equipped with Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ devices for students, alongside AI training and smartboards for teachers. Air conditioning systems are also included to create a comfortable and holistic learning environment.

Pilot implementations at schools including SMK Nilai Impian in Negeri Sembilan and SMKA Naim Lil Banat in Kelantan give students and teachers access to Ace-it, an AI-powered digital learning platform. The platform features curriculum-aligned notes, interactive tools and an AI assistant designed to lessen teachers' workload while enhancing classroom engagement.

For students, these tools can make it easier to access content, follow lessons and explore topics independently.

“Using the Galaxy Tab also makes it much easier to follow along in class, while reducing the need to carry heavy textbooks every day. With AI, we are able to explore answers on our own and better understand difficult concepts through personalized explanations that support the way we learn,” said Nurhani Sumayyah Binti Azmal, Form 3 student at SMK Nilai Impian.

For teachers, digital technology provides new ways to bring abstract or complex concepts to life.

“One of the biggest challenges in teaching science is helping students truly visualize complex concepts and systems, something that traditional textbooks alone cannot always achieve. Through the AI-Powered Classroom and the Galaxy Tab, students are now able to experience lessons in a far more interactive and engaging way. What was once a purely text-book based experience has transformed into something immersive, dynamic and meaningful,” said Farah Faizura Binti Ahmad Rostam, teacher at SMK Nilai Impian.

In July 2026, Samsung Electronics Malaysia and Yayasan Didik Negara (YDN), a local education foundation, formalised their collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance digital education in Malaysia. Planned initiatives include Samsung AI Classroom showcases, STEM and AI-focused engagements, as well as student innovation programmes that provide hands-on exposure to emerging technologies.

Strengthening Educators' Capabilities Alongside Digital Learning

Schools are at different stages of digital adoption, and educators play an important role in determining how technology is used in the classroom. Samsung for Education supports schools through this progression, from establishing their digital foundations to integrating technology more deeply into teaching and learning.

For schools building stronger foundations for digital adoption, Samsung School provides resources and structured guidance. Schools that have demonstrated sustained and meaningful use of technology can then be recognised as a Samsung Digital Lighthouse School, helping to inspire the wider school community.

Through Samsung Learning Hub, teachers can access online training, teaching resources and certifications designed to build digital competency and support the effective use of technology in the classroom.

“Our goal is to help schools in our region stay ready for the future ahead. We partner closely with them to find the best ways that technology can transform learning opportunities for students and support teachers in the classroom.” said Carl Nordenberg, Vice President and Regional Head of Mobile eXperience Business for Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania.

In Indonesia, Samsung for Education supports ImajiNation 2026, Indonesia's first nationwide Visual Coding Championship launched by Kemendikdasmen, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, and Assemblr EDU. The programme targets more than 11,000 participants across 2,000 schools, with Samsung providing technology expertise through weekly enablement sessions ahead of the Grand Final in October.

Using Galaxy technology, participants can explore how technology supports ideation, collaboration, digital creation and project presentation.

Samsung for Education was also launched in the Philippines earlier this year to support the country's growing push towards digital learning. The initiative brings Galaxy devices, Samsung Knox, Samsung Learning Hub and education resources to schools as they adopt and integrate digital tools.


Supporting the Wider School Environment

Within the classroom, Galaxy tablets support students with digital learning, collaboration and access to learning resources. Samsung display solutions such as the EDLA-certified[1] WAF Interactive Display provide seamless access to services including Google Classroom and Google Drive, further enriching the educational experience.

The display also enables educators to use features such as Samsung AI Assistant[2] to encourage student focus and engagement through content such as summaries and quizzes. Other functions, including Live Transcript, can convert spoken instructions into text in real time on-screen, making lessons easier to follow.

Samsung's Interactive Displays combine advanced hardware and AI-powered features[3] to create smarter learning environments that are more engaging and collaborative. Samsung Knox also provides security and device management for connected devices, helping schools manage their digital learning environments securely.

Samsung Interactive Displays bring content to life, supporting more interactive teaching and classroom participation.

Beyond learning devices, Samsung's portfolio can support other areas of the school environment. SMART Signage and LED signage can be used to share information and updates across campus, while Samsung air-conditioning solutions can help manage classroom comfort and environmental conditions.

Through Samsung for Education and its partnerships across the region, Samsung is working to support schools on their digital transformation journey, helping educators build digital capabilities while preparing students to adapt to the changing needs of the future.
