MOHE Calls On POLYCC To Expand Digital Learning In TVET

SHAH ALAM, July 27 (Bernama) -- Polytechnics and community colleges (POLYCC) under the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) have been urged to step up the use of digital technology in teaching and learning to strengthen the country’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector.

MOHE secretary-general Datuk Dr Anesee Ibrahim said higher learning institutions must move beyond conventional methods and embrace tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to produce competitive talent.

“For the first time this year, these technologies are being showcased in an exhibition format at the POLYCC eDOLA Digital Fair 2025, allowing visitors to experience the technology used in teaching and learning,” he said in a statement issued by the Polytechnic and Community College Education Department today.

Anesee earlier officiated the closing of the two-day fair at Setia City Mall, which featured digital innovations including AI, AR, VR, flight simulators, robotics and e-sports.

The event also saw the launch of ILHAM\@CeLT (Innovative Learning Hub for Advancing Method) by Politeknik METrO Kuala Lumpur, aimed at developing future-focused digital teaching materials.

In addition, the fair hosted Malaysia’s first POLYCC–AWS League of Large Language Model (LLM) Bootcamp, organised by Amazon Web Services (AWS), making POLYCC the first agency in the country to hold the programme.

The fair is part of efforts to raise awareness and promote a digital culture in line with the National Digitalisation Policy.
