Matlamat Dalam Pendidikan.

Apa matlamat sistem pendidikan negara?
Urm..
Well, if you mean this..

"Education in Malaysia is an on-going efforts towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonic, based on a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards and who are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, the society and the nation at large."( Malaysia's National Education Philosophy)

Are you sure this is our matlamat?

Because for all we read here, falsafah pendidikan negara ini sama ada terlalu idealistik, atau ianya direka-reka untuk kelihatan gempak.

I've been thinking all this for my EDUC 116 question.

How religion, ethnicity and gender have shaped Malaysia education system.

p/s: I'm suddenly teringat about Tun Ghafar Baba yang merupakan seorang bekas guru.
