POLITICAL FACTORS INFLUENCING EDUCATION
Governance institutions, political ideologies, and competing interests,
both within and outside of the education community, influence the
content, form, and functioning of schooling
Public Policy

In France, everything to do with education is controlled from the
centre (metropole) which is the central government.
In the case of USA and Japan, their education systems are highly
decentralized, and are often based on the democratic influence and
the capitalistic political philosophy of these countries.
There is also a close relationship between the national character and the
national system of education.
1) Democratic
The national character of USA is democratic as such its education system is
democratic in most of its aspects
2) Dictatorship
Education in Mexico, Bulgaria and Cuba. The common features of their
education system include monopoly of the state control on education,
secularism, physical and military training political indoctrination in and out of
school
3) Nationalism
Nationalism could be defined as a psychological feeling within a group which
believes they have common outlook and traditions based on myth of common
ancestry. Eg: Malaysia and Singapore
RACIAL HARMONY AND INTEGRATION
In a multi-racial and multi-cultural landscape, one of the key aims of character
and citizenship education is to educate students to instill racial harmony and
integration. This is realized through :

Civics and Moral Education
•Emphasise the values of respect, responsibility, care and harmony in fostering
racial and religious harmony.
•Equip knowledge of the different religious beliefs, festivals and practices as
well as skills for identifying their own stereotyping and prejudices.
•Ways to demonstrate respectful behaviour in their actions and wordS.
Social Studies and History
•Study the history and incidents related to racial integration in the past
• Learn the significance of the various customs and practices
•Instil the sense of nationality and citizenship
Independence and National Day

groups

students
• The usage of national language as the medium of interaction
•Standardized syllabus
•Through curricular as well as co-curricular activities such as societies and sports
OVERVIEW OF MULTICULTURALISM (UNITY), PLURALISM
AND DUALISM
MULTICULTURALISM
 multi = many/more than one


culture = customs, belief, way of life, groups



Multicultural (adj) : including people of different races, religions, languages and
traditions.

(oxford advanced learner’s dictionary 7th ed.)
“the social characteristics and problems of governance posed by any society in which
different cultural communities live together and attempt to build a common life while
retaining something of their original identity” (Hall, 2000).
Multiculturalism (noun) :
1. the practice of giving importance to all cultures in a society
(oxford advanced learner’s dictionary 7th ed.)

2. the recognition of different cultural identities within a unified society (multiple
group identities in a society).


generally being taught in schools at a young age.

“the strategies and policies adopted to govern or manage the problems of
diversity and multiplicity which multicultural societies throw up” (Hall, 2000).
MALAYSIA AS A MULTICULTURAL
COUNTRY


Three major ethnic groups:

1.

Malays

2.

Chinese

3.

Indians



Challenges of the Multicultural education:

-

to provide equal opportunities for the numerous ethnic and religious groups
while at the same time creating an integrated Malaysian country.

-

to cope with the fast developing field of science and technology and also
information and communication technology (ICT).
WAYS IN PROMOTING
MULTICULTURALISM


Fostering the Malay language as the national language.



NEP (1970) – total usage of Malay language in all national
schools.



Establishment of Vision school (Sekolah Wawasan).
PLURALISM


(noun) the existence of many different groups of people
in a society.



the belief that it is possible and good for different
groups of people to live together in peace in one society
(oxford advanced learner’s dictionary 7th ed.).



a society in which members of various ethnic, racial,
religious and social groups maintain participation in and
development of their traditions and special interests
while cooperatively working toward the nation's unity
(Joan t. 1992).


Colonial-pluralism in Malaya

-

divide and rule:

-

Malays (agricultural work)

-

Chinese (mining industry)

-

Indians (Rubber plantation sector)



the lack of interaction between these different ethnic groups lead to each
ethnic group’s lack of knowledge of each other.



also caused each ethnic group to identify itself more with its motherland
rather than Malaysia.



May 13 riot (1969)
DUALISM


(noun) the theory that there are two opposite principles in
everything (oxford advanced learner’s dictionary 7th ed.)



the condition of being double of duality.



Dualism in education - there are two different education
systems;

- Traditional Islamic education system and
- Secular education
EDUCATIONAL DUALISM IN
MALAYSIA


Muslims’ Dilemmas over the national system :

1.

The teaching of Islamic religious knowledge is ineffective in
the national schools.

2.

Islamic knowledge to be inadequately taught for modern
era.

3.

The government’s education policy is being over-concerned
with physical and material development and manpower
training.

4.

Not optimistic in implementing the NEP and the KBSM.


Dilemmas over the Islamic educational system:

1.

The content of the curriculum is limited and outdated.

2.

The methodology employed in instruction does not
encourage or stimulate inquiry and critical thinking.

3.

Islamic schools are poorly financed and largely depend
on resources from the various states religious
departments and private endowment.


Dilemmas over both system:

-

Graduates do not possess the integrated personality of an
ideal Muslim.

-

National system – can pursue professional careers + broad
educational opportunities for higher education but lack a
strong foundation in Islamic in terms of moral values and
religious attitudes.

-

Religious system – dedicated in their belief but lack of higher
educational opportunities.


Muslims started to recognize the importance of both secular
and religious sciences for the full growth of the human
personality which will contribute towards the development
of the country.



The need for an integrated curriculum instilled with the
Islamic spirit that would allow students to acquire all kinds
of knowledge, including natural sciences.



A third educational system that unifies Islamic and modern
aims and resources.
