education:\n\na Malaysian perspective  \n# Educational setting in\n\nMalaysia  \nThe evolution and history of the Malay-  \nsian educational system is closely tied to  \nhe social history of the country.Wong  \nand Gwee!have written an excellent  \nreview in their book Perspectives:The  \nDevelopment of Education in Malaysia  \nand Singapore,and more recently Ahmat²analysed the development of universities  \nin Malaysia from a socio-political con-  \ntext.The present conduct of education in  \nthe country is governed by the Education  \nAct of 1961 with subsequent modifica-  \ntions since then to suit the changing needs  \nof Malaysian society.This Act encompas-  \nses the school sector and,as envisaged by  \nt,by 1985 free education was made  \navailable to children up to the lower  \nsecondary school level.Higher educa-  \ntional activities are governed by the Uni-  \nversity and University Colleges Act off  \n1972.This Act did not envisage provisions  \nfor higher educational opportunities for  \nall.It was meant to be selectively  \navailable.  \nThe nation's educational system can be  \nstratified into four categories.They are:  \n## 1.Pre-school education\n\nChildren in the 4 to 6-year age group  \nreceive pre-school education.There are  \nabout 5,657 pre-school establishments  \nand they cater for nearly 279,000  \nchildren.Almost 80%of these schools are  \nrun by government agencies,not neces-  \nsarily by the Ministry of Education.The  \nrest are run by private business concerns.  \nThere is a general feeling that this sector  \nof the country's educational system needs  \ncareful enquiry as there seems to be a wide  \nvariation between the 'better'and the  \n'poorer'run schools.Curri","cbCaisZZYAWYWkt3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisZZYAWYWkt3","pdf",312887,"English","# Offshore distance education: \n## a Malaysian perspective\n# Educational setting in\n## 1.
