Based on the government's aspiration towards realizing the 21st century education (PA-21), the Ministry of Education (MOE) has listed 10 subthemes of the three skills that need to be mastered in teaching and learning namely learning and innovation skills, media and information technology skills, as well as life skills and careers. Institut Aminuddin Baki (IAB) took up the challenge of the MOE's aspiration by listing eight elements of the PA-21 based on the 21st century learning style of the US National Educator Association (NEA) such as critical, communication, collaborative and creativity. This article is an overview of 14 local studies findings that were published in journals and educational research proceedings in Malaysia from 2000 to 2017. All of these articles have discussed the feasibility of PA-21 at the public schools and universities. Findings from these studies show that local research more focuses on two domains of skills namely creativity and communication i.e. the use of information technology in teaching and learning. This review is empirically prove that teachers and students were able to implement PA-21 skills although the level of implementation was still at the early stage with the most basic method of use. However, the implementation of PA-21 from the perspectives and functions of MOE as the policy makers was not addressed in 14 analyzed articles.

The Covid-19 pandemic is an unexpected pandemic. It is not only faced by the Malaysian community, but also the presence of the world. The spread of this epidemic is very fast and difficult to block. Almost most of all countries in the world are affected by its presence so that various sectors experience its fuel including in the field of education. To curb the spread of Covid-19, the Malaysian government has declared a Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18 March 2020 until now with the recovery phase being carried out and closing all sector operations including the education sector. Thus, this study aims to look at the resolution taken by the Ministry of Education (KPM) to ensure the continuity of education of students throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO). This study focuses on the analysis of The Ministry of Education Malaysia's Letter of Release (KPM) No. 3 of 2020 which is the guidelines for the implementation of Teaching and Learning during movement control order due to the spread of Covid-19 infection dated March 27, 2020. To ensure the continuity of education for students, KPM encourages all teachers to use the learning methods through the learning platform provided by MOE-DL and the appropriate online learning platform with the help of Information Technology. Although normal methods of teaching and facilitation (PdPc) occur in the classroom, in dealing with this virus the PdPc method needs to be changed in line with the 21st Century Learning (PAK21). With the help of this study, parents, students, and teachers were able to realize KPM's desire to keep the knowledge from stalling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

By situating this article within disability studies, decolonial studies and postcolonial studies, my purpose is to explore orientations towards independence within public school practices and show how this serves to reinforce hierarchies of exclusion. As feminist, queer and postcolonial scholar Ahmed (2006, p. 3) contends, “Orientations shape not only how we inhabit, but how we apprehend this world of shared inhabitance as well as ‘who’ or ‘what’ we direct our energy toward” (Ahmed, 2006, p. 3). I wonder how the policies and practices that I am oriented towards as a public school teacher limit the possibilities of encountering teaching and learning as a mode of reckoning and apprehending “this world of shared inhabitance?” I also wonder how remaining oriented towards independence as the goal of learning simultaneously sustains an adherence to colonial western logics under the current neoliberal ethos. Through Ahmed’s provocation I explore how the gaze of both teachers and students in public schools remains oriented towards independent learning in a manner that sustains conditions of exclusion, marginalization and oppression.

The use of mobile devices, especially, by teens has been looked at with much apprehension and suspicion with some saying that it can be used to acquire information which can be detrimental to their social and psychological growth. Some teachers complain that it affects teens' studies as these teenagers stay up late in the night browsing, chatting, watching movies and playing games which cause them to sleep in class or pay little attention because of tiredness. In Ghana students in public schools up to Senior High School are not allowed to use personal mobile phones, laptops and other mobile gadgets in school because of implications such as those enumerated above. On the other hand, some, including those in prominent positions in government, have called for a rethink of such a directive by the Ministry of Education. This chapter critically looks into previous literature on the use of mobile devices in the classroom and suggests ways in which it can be effectively used to advance academic work in the classroom.
