The National Education Policy laid the foundation for achieving a national system of education using a common curriculum. In line with the National Philosophy of Education, the curriculum is aimed towards achieving the desired educational goals and objectives of promoting overall individual development in a holistic manner integrating the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of development. Individual potentials to be developed are those relevant to national needs, which include individual, social, economic, political, modernization, and globalization. In addition, the curriculum also aims to further strengthen one’s belief in God and places great emphasis on universal noble values in order to meet the national aspiration of producing Malaysians with high moral standards.
