PETALING JAYA: Year Four pupils will be introduced to computer programming, robotics and Artificial Intelligence in a new subject starting next year. Ng said pupils will use Scratch to “come up with simple programming that can make a remote control toy car move”. She said RBT is already available in secondary schools with the Form One students in 2017 the first batch introduced to the subject. Coding is also currently taught in secondary schools through the Basics in Computer Science (Asas Sains Komputer) subject offered in lower secondary schools and Computer Science (Sains Komputer) subject in upper secondary schools. These skills will instead be included in subjects where pupils are required to do presentations in class using a computer.
