Education today isn't just about where you study, it's about what kind of world you're being prepared for. A new partnership between Sunway International Schools and Magdalen College School, Oxford is bringing together these two different yet deeply aligned institutions, who are united in the belief that great education should open minds, build character, and prepare young people for a world that's constantly changing. We'll be exploring what that means with Helen Pike, the Master of Magdalen College School, Oxford, and Prof. Cheng Mien Wee, the Executive Director of Sunway International Schools.

Sunway & Magdalen College School: Education with Purpose

When we think about education, we often think about primary schools, secondary schools, universities, and examinations. In doing so, we often forget one of the most important components of the entire system: preschool.

Preschool is not just preparation for school, it is the foundation for how a child thinks, feels, relates to others, and learns for life.

Recognising this, the Ministry of Education has introduced Prasekolah 2026, a major reform aimed at strengthening early childhood education by focusing not just on academics, but on holistic development. 
In this episode, we speak to Sarina Salim, Senior Deputy Director, Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education.

In an age where the job market is constantly shifting and careers are being redefined by technology, what does it really mean to prepare students for the future?
