KUALA LUMPUR, 9 September 2022 - Making education affordable and accessible especially for the marginalised communities is key to steering their children on the right path in uncovering their full potential to change their lives for the better.
To meet the specific needs of this underserved group, airasia academy explores a more meaningful collaboration with Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) by leveraging on the comprehensive offerings of Malaysia's leading e-learning platform, Jom Tuisyen.
Director of Strategy & Innovation of airasia academy, Dr. Ram Gopal Raj said: “Since day one, we have always been about democratising education where students can choose and manage their own learning. This way, we can empower students to exercise self-determination in terms of their education. Through this partnership with YCK and Jom Tuisyen, we can do so much more than just providing learning materials but rather making them more aware of how this medium can help them achieve something more meaningful in their lives.”
During a community outreach program at the Pusat Aktiviti Kanak-Kanak (PAKK) in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur today, Dr Ram spoke to the media and gave a demonstration of airasia academy’s on-demand learning (ODL) platform which can be enjoyed by more than 50 learners aged between 10 to 20 years old under the guidance of YCK educators.

Prominent child rights activist and Founder of YCK, Dato Dr Hartini Zainuddin said: “For so long we have been providing education in so many forms to these children that deserve so much more. In that amount of time, through all our successes, we also came across all sorts of hurdles that we sought not just to leap over, but someday eliminate. This collaboration with airasia academy and Jom Tuisyen seems to be the step towards leaping over as we kick down those hurdles that had always stood in our way."
Dr Hartini added, “With the children now being able to access all their classes and tutorials from the spaces that they may be confined to, without having to pay painstakingly excessive fees, they have now been making groundbreaking progress in their learning with all the resources they need for a wholesome education at their fingertips. With multiple hours on school days and some nights of extra classes being run by our diligent teaching staff, to a significant improvement of growth given their ability to progress their learning in and out of class. This is truly the step we at YCK have been looking for towards a sustainable and reliable tool for the delivery of a quality education to children that can now refine their untapped and overlooked potential."
Founder of Jom Tuisyen, Sunny Yee said: “Combining Jom Tuisyen's educational resources as well as years of experience in delivering exemplary learning content in Primary 1 to 6 subjects in SK, SJKC, and SJKT syllabus where Maths and Science subjects are taught in Mandarin, Malay and English languages, will accelerate the process of building foundational understanding in these core and elective subjects within students.”
Sunny added, “Furtheremore, Jom Tuisyen also offers Maths and Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) subjects from Form 1 to Form 5 in Malay and English languages on top of providing other core subjects and elective subjects such as Geography, Pendidikan Islam, Sejarah etc. The mentioned subjects are presented in the format of on-demand learning video content by which students can log onto and gain access to Jom Tuisyen's content anywhere they want and hit the play or pause button on the video prompt whenever they want.”
Jom Tuisyen is one of the most sought after content in airasia academy’s ODL platform, catering to the needs of primary and secondary school students following the national syllabus by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
