Abstract

Globalization requires a more practical education system in which outputs from the system can work in complicated situations with modern instruments. Many developing countries prefer to establish an education system with Smart Schools, so as to achieve education quality closer to developed countries. A Smart School is a learning institution that uses non-traditional means of instruction, teaching, and learning where school management is focused on helping students cope with, and leverage changes brought about by, the information age. Successful Smart Schools’ requirements are different from traditional schools in curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, teaching-learning material, management, visions, and stakeholder engagement. Malaysia successfully established this system from early 1996, and Iran has tried to also establish a Smart School system since 2002. This paper will talk about the Smart School system and compare the strengths and weaknesses of Malaysia and Iran’s attempts at implementing them.
