AI-powered SiPKPM helps 4,758 dropout students return to school
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 4,758 dropout students have successfully returned to school since Feb 10, as a result of the effectiveness of the Student Tracking System (SiPKPM), Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said. He said the number represents an increase compared to 2,708 dropout students who returned to school in 2024, proving that data-driven approaches and continuous monitoring can significantly increase re-entry rates into the national education system. 'Most recently, SiPKPM has been integrated with the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which can predict the learning and career pathways of at-risk and dropout students who are in Education Ministry (MoE) schools, up to Form Five. 'These predictions help the MoE retain at-risk students and ensure they continue their schooling,' he said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was responding to a question from Roslan Hashim (PN-Kulim Bandar Baharu), who asked about the effectiveness of SiPKPM in comprehensively tracking the movements of Malaysian children, including dropout students and children without access to education. Wong said SiPKPM covers data on all children from preschool to Form Five, including those in private educational institutions and religious schools. He also said that according to MOE data, the main contributing factors to students dropping out of school include lack of interest in schooling, the need to work, family issues and chronic illness. - Bernama

Schools see return of 4,758 dropouts
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 4,758 dropout students returned to school between Feb 10 this year and today — a more than 75 per cent increase compared with 2,708 students last year. Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said this was aided through the Student Tracking System (SiPKPM) which helps analyse dropout cases. He said the main factors contributing to student dropouts include lack of interest in school, expulsion, work, family problems and chronic illness. "This system includes data on all school-aged children from Year 1 to Form 5, including those in private educational institutions and religious education institutions. "The system helps analyse dropout cases and allows for more accurate data downloads, visualisation of dropout locations through heat maps and identification of the schools involved so that intervention can be carried out to return these students to school. "In addition, students at risk of dropping out can be given targeted interventions to prevent them from leaving school and to keep them enrolled. "The effectiveness of the SiPKPM is evident, with 4,758 dropout students returning to school between Feb 10 and today, compared with 2,708 students last year," he said in the Dewan Rakyat. Wong added that this proves a data-driven and continuous monitoring approach can improve the re-enrolment rate of students into the education system. He said recently, SiPKPM has been integrated with artificial intelligence applications that can predict the learning and career pathways of at-risk students and dropouts enrolled in Education Ministry schools, up to Form 5. "These predictions will help retain at-risk and dropout students so that they continue their education until the completion of Form 5." He was responding to a question from Roslan Hashim (PN-Kulim Bandar Baru) on the effectiveness of the SiPKPM.

Dakshina Kannada achieves high student registry coverage of 82.1%
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada (DK) district has reached close to 82.1% coverage in generating Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) IDs, a mandatory requirement for students from kindergarten to Class XII Samagra Shikshana Karnataka, which oversees the process, pointed out that despite this, DK tops the state from day one of its implementation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The process for the current academic year for those who joined kindergarten and Class I is yet to commence. The officials have requested parents to keep all documents clear as the APAAR ID will be required for various academic-related works in the future. The data of every candidate's academic performance is accessed through it. Officials from SSK said that the major hurdle in not achieving 100% registration is because Dakshina Kannada has a lot of migrants coming from north Karnataka. There are also a few from other districts. "The Aadhaar card is primarily used to create the APAAR ID. However, the issue is that names and other credentials don't match each other. The spelling and address are wrong, which is a major complaint. As a result, the officials are unable to generate it. Also, they must go to their native places to rectify it, where they visit once or twice a year," an official said. A teacher from a govt school near Bokkapatna, that sees the highest number of admissions from north Karnataka, shared a similar concern. "We have so far been able to complete 80% registration. The rest is pending due to a mismatch of Aadhaar details. The name we have entered in the Student Tracking System is not there on the card. There are multiple spelling mistakes in their names. If there is a single spelling mistake, the system fails to complete the process," the teacher said. Govinda Madivala, DDPI, Dakshina Kannada, said that the APAAR ID, an initiative started across the country last academic year, enhances efficiency, removes duplicity, minimises fraud, facilitates student mobility, and enhances academic flexibility. Therefore, every parent should provide the right documents for the process. This ID functions as a permanent digital identity for the student in the education ecosystem. "The ID will be integrated with entrance exams in the coming year," he said.
