Needs Analysis
21st Century Schools recommended that a Needs Analysis be performed prior to developing and implementing a Pilot Project. Agensi Inovasi Malaysia (AIM) had requested the development of curriculum which could be used to develop students thinking skills. This goal is aligned to the overall goal of Malaysia to become a world leader among nations. The Malaysian government understands that in order to meet this goal citizens must become innovators and entrepreneurs.
We visited 16 schools all over Malaysia - Tamil schools, Muslim schools and Chinese schools. We observed 59 classrooms, taking notes, photos and videos.

Interviews
In addition to observing classrooms we conducted interviews with small groups of parents, teachers and students at each school.
We also met with educators from two universities as well as representatives from the Ministry of Education.
We then presented our initial findings to the Director General of the Ministry of Education. And we now have developed an initial report, Needs Assessment Preliminary Report, dated October 30, 2011.
We collected enormous amounts of data and will continue add our photos, videos and anecdotal records to that report and to this web site which is part of the report.
