What a tremendous year it has been! We started the year with one goal in mind: to encourage and inspire the community to raise the bar in education through 21st Century teaching and learning. And throughout the year, we have seen schools, teachers, students and even parents levelling up through the YTL Foundation Schools Awards, 1BestariNet Teacher Awards and the Frog Championships.
We wanted to acknowledge and appreciate all the positive and impactful efforts that the community has put in to up their game and bringing education to greater heights.
