ARVIA Leads the Way in Digitalizing Early Childhood Education

On 17 October 2024, ARVIA held a landmark event at Wisma Arvia in Puchong, showcasing its Digitalization Program tailored for private kindergartens. Approximately 60 kindergarten entrepreneurs attended the event, which was supported by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA). The initiative marked a pivotal moment in ARVIA’s mission to modernize Malaysia’s early education landscape through the integration of advanced educational technologies and awareness of the MARA Digitalization Grant.

Transforming Classrooms with Smartboard Technology

The core objective of the Digitalization Program was to demonstrate how smart tools can reshape the way young children learn. Participants were introduced to ARVIA’s smartboards and touchscreen solutions, purpose-built for classroom engagement. Unlike traditional boards, these smartboards offer a multifunctional experience that simplifies class management while fostering interactive learning through visually stimulating content. The standout feature of ARVIA’s smartboards is their pre-installed content aligned with the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) KSPK syllabus. This makes it a turnkey solution for kindergartens seeking to transition into digital education. The inclusion of games and educational activities enhances interactivity, making learning both effective and enjoyable for students and teachers.

CEO Ahmad Najib Highlights the Vision for Digital Education

Ahmad Najib Habeb, CEO of Israk Solutions, the parent company of ARVIA, addressed the audience with a forward-looking perspective. “Digitalization isn’t just a trend—it’s the future of education, especially in early childhood,” he remarked. “We are committed to empowering kindergarten operators by offering them tools that make education fun, interactive, and impactful.” He further emphasized that these smartboards are not only about improving engagement but also about cultivating creativity and critical thinking from a young age. ARVIA’s technology, he noted, is a key part of their larger strategy to revolutionize Malaysian education using accessible, state-of-the-art solutions.

Interactive Demonstrations and Real-World Classroom Scenarios

Beyond presentations, the event provided a tactile learning opportunity. Attendees engaged in hands-on trials with the smartboards, experiencing firsthand how digital content and touch interaction could transform a typical classroom setup. This gave prospective clients a clear vision of how ARVIA’s products would fit into their unique teaching environments.

Tailored Teacher Training and Ongoing Support

Understanding that new technology requires support, ARVIA also introduced its robust teacher training ecosystem. The program offers personalized training—either virtual or face-to-face—to equip educators with the skills necessary to harness the full potential of the smartboards. This ensures that every adoption of ARVIA’s technology is complemented by confident, capable educators who can deliver engaging and effective lessons.

MARA’s Digitalization Grant: Making Innovation Affordable

A focal point of the program was the MARA Digitalization Grant, designed to subsidize tech adoption for educational entrepreneurs. ARVIA took the opportunity to educate attendees on how to access this grant, providing a practical path for schools to modernize without bearing the full financial burden. Ahmad Najib expressed optimism about the collaboration, saying, “With MARA’s support, the dream of fully digital classrooms is becoming a reality. This grant removes a major barrier to entry and enables more institutions to adopt transformative educational tools.”

Growing Momentum Toward Smarter Classrooms

The Digitalization Program was met with enthusiasm and positive feedback from attendees. Many kindergarten owners expressed immediate interest in integrating smartboards into their schools. As digital transformation continues to gain traction in Malaysia’s education sector, ARVIA is poised to lead the shift.

Looking Ahead: ARVIA’s Commitment to Educational Innovation

With this event, ARVIA reinforces its role as a pioneer in educational technology. By promoting the benefits of digitalization and offering a well-rounded support system—from hardware to training and financial aid guidance—ARVIA is helping schools transition smoothly into the digital age. The company plans to continue engaging stakeholders through similar outreach programs and aims to expand its reach across Malaysia.
