The Rahman Talib report reviewed Malaysia's education policy in 1960 to promote national integration and unity. It supported the findings of the earlier Razak Report and informed the creation of the 1961 Education Act. The report recommended making Malay the main language of instruction in schools, providing free secondary education, and automatically promoting students to Form 3. It also emphasized religious and moral education, and basic skills like reading, writing and arithmetic.
