As technology continues to reshape the education landscape, schools are exploring new ways to use digital tools to support teaching and learning.

Beyond access to technology, the focus is increasingly on how technology, digital learning resources and educator capabilities can work together in the classroom to equip students with future-ready skills.

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

Building Future-Ready Learning Environments

With a vision to democratize 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 to encourage deeper engagement, collaborative learning and digital literacy among students and teachers.

Classrooms are equipped with Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ devices for students, AI trainings and smartboards for teachers, together with air conditioning systems to create a comfortable and holistic learning environment.

Pilot implementations in schools such as SMK Nilai Impian in Negeri Sembilan and SMKA Naim Lil Banat in Kelantan provide students and teachers access to Ace-it, an AI-powered digital learning platform. It features curriculum-aligned notes, interactive tools, and an AI assistant designed to lessen teachers’ workload and enhance classroom engagement.

For students, having these tools 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 formalized 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, and student innovation programs 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 digital foundations to integrating technology more deeply into teaching and learning.

For schools building strong foundations for digital adoption, Samsung School supports them with resources and structured guidance. Schools that have demonstrated sustained, meaningful use of technology are then recognized as Samsung Digital Lighthouse School, inspiring the wider school community.

Through Samsung Learning Hub, teachers can access online training, teaching resources and certifications designed to build digital competency and support effective technology use 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 (Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education) and Assemblr EDU. The program 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.

Samsung for Education was also launched in the Philippines earlier this year to support the country’s growing push toward digital learning, bringing 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 supports students with digital learning, collaboration, and access to learning resources, while Samsung display solutions such as the EDLA-certified¹ WAF Interactive Display provides seamless access to services like Google Classroom and Google Drive, which further enrich the educational experience. Additionally, the display enables educators to leverage features like Samsung AI Assistant² to encourage student focus and engagement with content like summaries and quizzes, while other functions like 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 features³ 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.

Beyond learning devices, Samsung’s portfolio can support other parts 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 and helping students adapt to the changing needs of the future.
