SEKOLAH BERPRESTASI TINGGI

Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi or High Performance School is a prestigious title conferred to a group of schools in Malaysia that have ethos, character and a unique identity to excel in all aspects ofeducation. The schools have a tradition of high culture and excellent work with the national human capital and continuing to grow holistically and are competitive in the international arena. The title is given by Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE). This is a section of a part of the National Key Result Areas of Government Transformation Programme (GTP).

Desire to identify and create Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi (SBT) has been announced by the Prime Minister, Dato Seri Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak in his speech at the National Assembly administration members, civil servants and government-linked companies (GLCs) at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) on July 27, 2009. This is as a section in one of the six main part in NKRA which is ″Improving Student Outcome".

"As a pilot project, a total of 100 schools, consisting of ordinary types, schools, cluster schools and boarding schools. With this, we will provide an environment conducive to teaching and learning and promote cooperation between the public and private sector to drive the achievement of students. All these plans will be implemented within three years before the end of 2012."

MOE has prepared an action plan to identify 100 SBT by 2012. This effort is in line with the "1Malaysia: People First, Performance Now". On 9 September 2009, MOE decided to recognize 100 schools consisting of government schools and government-aided schools to be set up as SBT and a SBT Sector Management Division of Residential School and Cluster School (BPSBPSK) so that management of SBT can be implemented efficiently.

A total of 20 schools have been announced as SBT Cohort 1 by Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Education, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on January 25, 2010. The recognition ceremony was held at SMK Aminuddin Baki, Kuala Lumpur on January 29, 2010. On February 18, 2011, a total of 23 schools was announced as SBT Cohort 2 at Sarawak. Another 9 schools were elevated to SBT in May 25, 2011. On 4 February 2012,another 14 schools recognized as SBT Cohort 3 in a recognition ceremony in Putrajaya. On December 28, 2012, 25 schools were given SBT status,[4]bringing the total to 91. RM18.7mil had been allocated for the schools to enhance their quality of education. The government has agree to continue the project from 2013 to 2015 with the target of 10 SBTs each year with at least one SBT in each state.

Bridging the Gap Between Schools in System: Inspire other schools to develop excellence to high levels through benchmarking, mentoring and networking with HPS.
