As part of its five-year work plan from 2026 to 2030, Mendaki will explore ways to enhance its tuition programme to better cater to the needs of its students.

These include creating tailored programmes to accommodate students’ various learning abilities, training Mendaki tutors to be coaches and mentors, and incorporating technology, like artificial intelligence (Al), into the tuition curriculum.

Mendaki chairman Zaqy Mohamad said the tuition curriculum has to keep up with subject changes and enhancements made by the Ministry of Education in schools.

“Some parents may not be able to coach their kids. Therefore, we want to be able to provide the best for them,” he added.

One way of doing this, he said, is to invest in technologies like AI so that tutors can integrate them in their lessons.

He made these comments while observing Mendaki tuition classes on Sept 27 at Bedok Green Primary School, where he was joined by Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim.
