Why does SOLS Smart exist?

Traditionally, the definition of ‘literacy’ is understood as the ability to read and write. But in the 21st Century, this definition has been expanded.

Today, the definition of literacy is as shown above, and it includes ‘the ability to use computers’. Being pen-and-paper literate is only a part of the equation now.

This means the 10 million Malaysians who don’t have access to computers today can, by this definition, be considered functionally illiterate.

Not being able to use or understand technology is a handicap in our age. As technology progresses onward, all of society has to catch up, not just the ones at the forefront. SOLS Smart exists so that everyone can benefit equally from both education and technology.
