THE MALAYSIAN EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY 

"Education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonious, based on a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards, and who are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, the society and the nation at large”.  

Ministry of Education, Malaysia. 1988

Over the last 56 years or so (until 2013), Malaysia’s national education policy has been changed many times. It was first changed when the Razak Report 1956 and the Education Ordinance 1957 which was dubbed the ‘Consolidation Era’ were introduced and the most recent one was the introduction of the New Education Policy (the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2012-2025) which was approved by the Cabinet on January 30, 2013. 

That changes also can be seen clearly in the perspectives of the curriculum that have been done and introduced for the Malaysia Primary Education since after Tanah Melayu gained it freedom on 1957.  After Tanah Melayu gained it freedom, The Old Curriculum Primary School (KLSR) was introduced.  After a few year of implementation and through the research that have been done, the KLSR was revised and so The Integrated Primary School Curriculum(KBSR) was introduced to replace and improve the curriculum that introduced for the Malaysian Primary School.

After few years of KBSR implementation and introduced into Primary School. On 2010, KBSR was again have been revised and improved on its quality and content.  Therefore, the introduction of Standard Curriculum For Primary School was implemented on 2010 start with Year 1.  While the Year 2 until Year 6 still continue with the KBSR until they finish they primary school.

As a conclusion, it is just a simple summarize of the changes that occur in our Malaysian Primary School Curriculum.  For further details of the curriculum in Malaysia can be done on http://www.moe.gov.my/bpk/v2/index.php
