“As an educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience, I have always believed that science should be hands-on, minds-on and hearts-on. One of the biggest challenges in teaching science is helping students truly visualise 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. More importantly, it has made learning more enjoyable for students by transforming what was once a purely textbook-based experience into something immersive, dynamic and meaningful,”
– Farah Faizura Binti Ahmad Rostam, teacher at SMK Nilai Impian
As Malaysia accelerates toward a digital-first future, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is reaffirming its contribution to national development through education by taking the next step with the introduction of AI-Powered Classroom by Samsung programme in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
Far beyond a standalone technology initiative, the classrooms reflect the company’s broader vision of democratising AI and digital access for all Malaysians, while strengthening the country’s readiness for an increasingly AI-driven future. Through pilot implementations at SMK Nilai Impian in Negeri Sembilan and SMKA Naim Lil Banat in Kelantan that are supported by SNS Network (M) Sdn Bhd, Samsung is transforming traditional classrooms into fully integrated AI-powered learning environments designed to encourage deeper engagement, collaborative learning and digital literacy among students.
What makes the AI-Powered Classroom especially meaningful is its truly holistic learning ecosystem. The classrooms are equipped not only with Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ devices for students, but also smartboards for teachers, tablet charging stations, air-conditioning systems and the supporting infrastructure necessary to create a comfortable and connected digital learning environment. The initiative represents a complete end-to-end classroom ecosystem of interconnected technologies rather than simply the provision of devices.
To support daily teaching and learning processes in the classrooms, Sasbadi Holdings Berhad, a leading education solutions provider in Malaysia, was invited by the Ministry of Education to be the Strategic Content Partner for the initiative. Sasbadi deployed its flagship AI-powered digital learning platform, Ace-it, which features comprehensive curriculum-aligned notes, exercises, interactive tools, and an AI-assistant that collectively lessen teachers’ workload and heighten classroom engagement. The Ace-it platform runs seamlessly on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ tablets and smartboards, creating an intuitive, fully connected ecosystem for both educators and students.
The programme also highlights Samsung’s unique strengths as a technology leader. Beyond hardware innovation, Samsung’s ecosystem enables seamless connectivity across devices and platforms, creating a more flexible and intuitive learning experience for both students and educators. Samsung’s commitment to six years of operating system and security updates also ensures that devices remain secure, relevant and usable for significantly longer periods, helping schools maximise long-term value while reducing concerns around device longevity and maintenance.
This latest initiative builds upon Samsung’s proven track record in supporting Malaysia’s digital education agenda. In 2022, Samsung played a key role in an education initiative by supplying Galaxy Tab A8 LTE devices to eligible university students from the B40 income group.[1] It is estimated that approximately 350,000 to 400,000 students nationwide would benefit from the initiative.[2]

By investing consistently in education, infrastructure and long-term digital accessibility, Samsung continues to play an active role in helping shape a more inclusive, future-ready and innovation-driven Malaysia for generations to come.
