Pemimpin is a Malaysian nonprofit focused on strengthening school leadership to improve student learning. Our partnership centers on technical support and shared learning to adapt evidence-based approaches to the Malaysian context. Pemimpin is supporting over 279 school leaders, with the potential to impact more than 60,000 students.

​

In addition to thought partnership and technical input on curriculum design, coaching models, and measurement and evaluation frameworks, we have worked with Pemimpin on:
​

ASLI Program

Even before the pandemic, Orang Asli children (children from indigenous tribes) in Malaysia were experiencing severe learning loss and large discrepancies in educational outcomes compared to the national average. The ASLI program was developed to support school leaders working with Orang Asli students, one of Malaysia’s most underserved groups.

 
Together with Pemimpin, we adapted their Fellowship Program to strengthen school leaders’ understanding of indigenous pedagogy, build strategic planning and leadership skills, and support them to plan, implement, and assess change across their schools. It also encouraged the development of a growth mindset among participating school leaders. The program aligned with the Malaysian Ministry of Education’s equity aspiration #57 and drew on international best practices and recommendations in indigenous education.
