Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia - KPM

What Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia - KPM does

Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) is the federal Ministry of Education of Malaysia, headquartered in Putrajaya and operating as a statutory government entity under the executive branch. Established following Malaysia's independence in 1957 (with predecessor education administration dating to 1955), the ministry administers the national public education system from preschool through secondary, including technical and vocational education (TVET), special education, and pre-university matriculation. It governs approximately 10,000 government and government-assisted schools across all 16 Malaysian states and federal territories through a hierarchical network of State Education Departments (Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri) and District Education Offices, supported by 17 Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) campuses for teacher training.

KPM's technology stack centers on a digital education ecosystem anchored by DELIMa (Digital Educational Learning Initiative Malaysia), a role-based learning platform with five user categories (students, teachers, content managers, school administrators, and principals). Complementary platforms include LP (examination board), BPLTV (textbook management), PPPM (assessment and portfolio), IPGM (teacher training), BPSwasta (private school registration), IAB (integration services), and RPM (student management). Educational television is delivered through DidikTV KPM via broadcast partnerships with TV OKEY RTM and ASTRO Tutor. The ministry also operates the standardized PBS (Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah) school-based assessment system.

KPM is funded entirely through annual federal budget allocations from the Malaysian Government and does not generate commercial revenue; public education services are provided free of charge. Revenue mechanics are therefore fiscal rather than transactional, with the ministry reporting to the Cabinet and Parliament. Customer segments are the captive end-user base of Malaysian preschool, primary, and secondary students; TVET and matriculation students; serving teachers and education officers; and pre-service teacher trainees. Strategic direction is set by the Pelan Strategik KPM 2024-2030 and the Rancangan Pendidikan Malaysia (RPM) 2026-2035. International engagement includes partnerships with SEAMEO and ICESCO.
