Malaysia’s curriculum is on par with other countries like Singapore and Japan, says Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
She explains that this was based on a comparative study carried out by KPM, involving nations like Singapore, Australia, Japan, the UK and Finland.
“Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa kurikulum persekolahan di Malaysia setanding dengan kurikulum negara lain,” notes Fadhlina.
She was responding to a question on the reported disparity of the curriculum for pupils between Standard 1 and 3.
“Pelaksanaan mata pelajaran pada Tahap I membolehkan setiap kanak-kanak membina asas amalan nilai murni, membentuk keyakinan diri dan sikap positif serta pemerolehan pengetahuan dan kemahiran asas sebagai persediaan untuk mengikuti pembelajaran seterusnya,” explains the PH MP.
