Furthermore, we recently rolled out the Samsung Digital Lighthouse School program in Indonesia, starting with two schools: Al Muslim Bekasi and Salman Al Farisi Bandung. The program aims to accelerate the digital transformation journeys of schools and enhance the learning experiences of over 2,500 students with AI-enabled Galaxy devices such as the Galaxy Tab S and A Series, with holistic protection by Samsung Knox.

 

At the end of the day, we want to have technology that inspires both educators and students to explore, discover, and collaborate. Technology should not overshadow the human connection but instead enhance it.

 

Equity and Ecosystems

 

A concern that many educators may have with technology is equity and access. When done right, technology can bridge, instead of widening the gaps.

 

When a student in Bandung accesses the same AI-powered learning tools as someone in Seoul, when language barriers are removed through real-time translation, and when personalised learning can be adapted to the different paces and styles of both teachers and students, that is democratisation in action. A decade ago, high-speed internet access was something accessible to the select few able to afford it; today, these technologies are well within reach for most students across our region. The key word here is "done right." Technology for technology's sake doesn't solve anything; instead, it is about creating ecosystems that benefit everyone.

 

However, educators are also just as concerned about having the right solutions on hand to help them fully maximize that potential, not just for students, but also teaching staff. We work with local edutech partners for classroom device management, as well as change management support, to better enhance learning outcomes for students. These collaborations are built around the understanding that technologies like tablets for classrooms are only as transformative as the support system around it. After all, tools are only as good as the hands that wield them.

 

Working Within the System, Not Against It

 

Beyond devices, software and services, it is extremely important to have a clear understanding of national education strategies, curriculum requirements, as well as the long-term vision for digital learning. In our engagements with education ministries across the region, we work hard together, to ensure that initiatives are designed to support and integrate with these existing frameworks.  

 

Our Samsung Learning Hub, launched in January, exemplifies this approach. This digital resource hub for educators offers online training, teaching materials, certifications, and a community to further support teaching and learning outcomes. For digital learning initiatives to succeed, they must aim to complement and not replace traditional teaching methods.

 

The Imperative for Collaboration

 

The future of education cannot be a solo act, but must be built through collaboration between educators, students, parents, policymakers, and technology companies like Samsung. Here is my challenge to everyone reading this, whether you are an educator frustrated by the limitations of current teaching methods, a policymaker grappling with budget constraints, or even a fellow technology professional looking to make a real difference:

 

Let us stop talking about the future of education and start building it. Let us be bold enough to experiment, humbly explore new innovations to figure out what works, and persist in our efforts to continue iterating until we get it right, together.

 

Our students sitting in classrooms today will inherit a world shaped by AI, climate change, and other challenges that we have yet to discover. They deserve an education that prepares them not just to adapt to that world, but to lead it. For that to happen, we must also ensure that they are both enabled and empowered with the right tools and support to drive better and more effective learning outcomes in this digital-first world. Are we ready to lead it together?
