FAQs

What is CERDIK?
CERDIK is a Government Linked Company (GLC) / Government Linked Investment Company (GLIC) driven Corporate Responsibility (CR) pilot initiative announced in Budget 2021 that aims to provide digital access in the form of laptops, tablet computers, and data connectivity worth RM150 million to students from lower-income families.

CERDIK is not a short-term, one-off device donation initiative, but a long-term digital learning project for current and future students in Malaysia.
What are the objectives?
CERDIK aims to close the digital learning gap for approximately 150,000 students in primary and secondary schools in Malaysia and pilot digital learning models for future adoptions.

The four objectives:
To provide the most marginalised school students with devices, access to data and connectivity.
To enable students to access online learning during school closures as well as any future digital learning experiences when schools reopen.
To bridge the learning gap between those who can afford devices and those who cannot.
Pioneering the digital learning models by the Ministry of Education (MOE) for future use.
How will the devices be handed out?
Devices and connectivity packages will be distributed to schools who will, in turn, loan them to eligible students. Students will be able to retain their devices until the completion of studies at their respective schools. Technical support will also be provided to students should the devices require servicing or repair.
How will the digital learning be monitored?
Laptops usage and digital learning outcomes will be monitored by MOE. YSD and MOE will jointly perform on-site annual reviews.
Who should I contact if the donated laptop is damaged, stolen or lost?
Please reach out to your school administrators or your school teacher.
