AI in Malaysian Education: What Parents Should Ask in 2026 (Without Panic)

Baca dalam BM

AI is becoming part of how teachers plan lessons and how students learn. The goal isn’t to ban AI or blindly trust it—it’s to use it responsibly.

3 questions parents can ask (that actually help)

  1. What is AI used for? (lesson planning, practice, feedback, writing support)
  2. How do we prevent “copy-paste learning”? (require explanations, oral checks, drafts)
  3. What are the rules for safety and privacy? (accounts, data sharing, age-appropriate tools)

At home: teach process, not shortcuts

  • Ask children to explain answers in their own words
  • Use AI for practice questions, not final submissions
  • Set time limits and device-free routines

Busut tip

Clear homework instructions and due dates reduce last-minute rushing—one of the biggest drivers of unhealthy “copy-paste” habits.
