KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- The success of Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Putrajaya Presint 11(1) in winning the 2025 World’s Best School Prize under the Supporting Healthy Lives category by T4 Education has elevated Malaysia’s name on the global stage.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in a post on X, said the victory also proved that school-based innovation and best practices can serve as an inspiration to the world.
“Congratulations and well done to the school community, the Education Ministry (MoE) and all involved. This is the true spirit of Malaysia MADANI in educating, inspiring and shaping the future,” he said.
SK Putrajaya Presint 11(1) beat shortlisted schools from Turkiye, India, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil and Thailand.
The school’s success was based on the development of a mobile application called HELPIE, launched in 2023 to raise awareness and provide mental health support among students.
The app, combined with a peer-to-peer classroom campaign, has so far benefited more than 1,000 students.
The announcement of the win was made during a live broadcast yesterday, witnessed at a special assembly co-hosted by MoE and Yayasan Hasanah at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), which was also attended by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
The victory earned SK Putrajaya Presint 11(1) USD50,000 (RM235,000).
Established in 2022 by UK-based global education body T4 Education, the award is regarded as the most prestigious educational recognition, celebrating schools worldwide that inspire positive change.
