What if your teacher turned your classroom into the X-Men’s Danger Room — complete with missions, characters, and roleplay?

In this special two-part Teachers' Day episode of What Now? Jom Ah Lepak!!, we sit down with Cikgu Nazmi, the winner of the 2023 Global Teacher Prize Malaysia, known for his out-of-the-box approach to education in rural Sarawak. Inspired by comic books, anime, and his students’ real-life struggles, he designed a gamified classroom concept called The Danger Room — transforming lessons into powerful stories and experiences that help students build confidence, critical thinking, and creativity.

We talk about:

• How being posted to a rural school shaped his views on education

• His love for comic books and the role they play in his teaching

• The story and process behind creating The Danger Room

• Why storytelling belongs in the classroom

• What he learned from global educators and mentors like Anuthra

• His dreams for the future of learning in Malaysia

This is a celebration of teachers who dare to dream differently — and help students do the same.
