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 responsible and capable of achieving
a high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute
to the harmony and betterment of the society and the nation at large. (Ministry
of Education, 1990)
