EDUCATION
Pre-School
Attendance in a pre-school program is not universal
and generally only affluent families can afford to
send their children to private, for-profit pre-schools.
Primary Education
There are two main types of public primary schools in Malaysia:
national (Sekolah Kebangsaan in Malay, abbreviated as SK) and
national-type (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan, abbreviated as SJK).
National-type schools are further divided into Chinese national-
type schools (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina, SJK(C)) and Tamil
national-type schools (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil, SJK(T)).
Primary education begins at the age of 7 and ends at 12.
Students are promoted to the next year regardless of their
academic performance (poor curriculum induced).
By degree of government funding, national schools are
government-operated, while national-type schools are mostly
government-assisted, though some are government-operated.
Primary education consists of six years of education, referred to as
Year 1 to Year 6 (also known as Standard 1 to Standard 6). Year 1 to
Year 3 are classified as Level One (Tahap Satu) while Year 4 to Year
6 are considered as Level Two (Tahap Dua).
From 1996 until 2000, the Penilaian Tahap Satu (PTS) or the Level
One Evaluation was administered to Year 3 students. Excellence in
this test allowed students to skip Year 4 and attend Year 5 instead.
Secondary Education
Secondary education in Malaysia is conducted in secondary
schools (Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan) for five years.
National secondary schools use Malay as the main medium of
instruction.
• The only exceptions are the Mathematics and Science
subjects as well as languages other than Malay, however this
was only implemented in the year 2003.
Malaysian national secondary schools are sub-divided into several types:
1. National Secondary School (Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan)
2. Religious Secondary School (Sekolah Menengah Agama)
3. National-Type Secondary School (Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan)
4. Technical Schools (Sekolah Menengah Teknik)
5. Residential Schools and MARA Junior Science College (Maktab Rendah
Sains MARA).
Pre-University
After the SPM, students from public secondary school would have a
choice of either studying Form 6 or the matriculation (pre-
university). If they are accepted to continue studying in Form 6,
they will also take the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (which is
usually abbreviated as STPM) or Malaysian Higher School Certificate
examination
Form 6 consists of two years of study
1. Lower 6 (Tingkatan Enam Rendah)
2. Upper 6 (Tingkatan Enam Atas)
• Although it is generally taken by those desiring to attend
public universities in Malaysia, it is internationally recognised
and may also be used, though rarely required, to enter
private local universities for undergraduate courses.
Tertiary education
Tertiary Eduication is heavily subsidised by the government.
Applicants to public universities must have completed the
Malaysia matriculation programme or have an STPM grade.
Excellence in these examinations does not guarantee a place
in a public university.
The classification of tertiary education in Malaysia is
organised upon the Malaysian Qualifications Framework
(MQF) which seeks to set up a unified system of post
secondary qualifications offered on a national basis both
in the vocational as well as higher educational sectors.
Some foreign universities and colleges have also set up branch campuses in Malaysia, including:
Monash University, Australia.
The University of Nottingham, United Kingdom
SAE Institute, Australia
Swinburne University of Technology, Australia
Curtin University of Technology, Australia
Raffles Design Institute, Singapore
Postgraduate programmes
Postgraduate degrees such as the Master of Business
Administration (MBA) and the Doctor of Business Administration
(DBA) are becoming popular and are offered by both the public
universities and the private colleges.
All public and most private universities in Malaysia offer Master of
Science degrees either through coursework or research and Doctor
of Philosophy degrees through research.
Vocational programmes and polytechnics schools
Besides the university degrees, students also have the option of
continuing their education in professional courses such as the
courses offered by the ICSA (Institute of Chartered Secretaries
and Administrators) etc. Polytechnics in Malaysia provide courses
for diploma level (3 years) and certificate level (2 years).
Other types of Schools
Islamic religious schools
Chinese independent high schools
International schools

Emphasis on Maths and Science
In 1967, Higher Education Planning Commission emphasized the critical importance ofScience and technology education at tertiary level
Therefore – set long-term targets1. Higher education to have enrolment ration – 60% arts & 40% science2. 20% of relevant age group to be provided with facilities for HE.
Later – the target changed – 40% arts & 60% science
Achievement – 2000, 27.7% science
