Top 10 education media brands in Malaysia

Which are the popular educational media brands in Malaysia? We have TV channels that produce kid’s content, and education platforms that curate higher education content.

Online education platforms generally provide information, guide, comparison for students (or parents) to make informed decisions for further studies.

It makes sense for educational institutions to advertise and perhaps execute leads generation campaigns on these educational platforms.

EduAdvisor, Afterschool.my, StudyMalaysia.com, and EasyUni Malaysia are the top 4 online educational platforms with significant website traffic.

Astro on another hand is the only local media company that operates TV channels for kids, namely Astro 小太阳, Astro Ceria, and TA-DAA.

The iconic and everlasting Majalah Kuntum (under Star Media Group) with primary school readers, is the sole magazine publisher on this list.

It got us pondering, why there are very limited online media dedicated to education – a huge, ever-growing (increasing demand on private education) and profitable (increasing school fees) industry.

Instead of curating more and more “lifestyle” media, perhaps this is something for the big media groups or industry practitioners to consider.

Nevertheless, here are the (almost comprehensive) top education media brands in Malaysia, ranked by Facebook followers:
