Moral and values education has alwa

Moral and values education has always been recognized and acknowledged in
the Malaysian school curriculum. It dates back to the time of the British colonial
government, when missionary work was one of the reasons for providing
education for the people. The curriculum had included Scripture as one of the
subjects at the secondary level, and ethics for the non-Christian pupils. Mukherjee
(1986, p. 151) states that there were “weekly slots on ‘ethics’ (given) to their non-
Christian pupils…with liberal extracts from the Bible accompanied by frequent
exhortations to ‘be good’”. Following the English school tradition then, the
National School System included Islamic Religious Education, then known as
Agama (Religion) in the curriculum for the Muslim pupils. For the non-Muslim
students, some form of moral education was given in place of Agama. More fervor
is given to values education in the present curriculum. The Kurikulum Baru
Sekolah Rendah (KBSR), that is the New Primary School Curriculum, and the
Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM), or the Integrated Secondary
School Curriculum, which have completed their first cycle recently, emphasize the
teaching of values in order to enhance quality individual development, as well as
creating Malaysian citizens of the future, through education.

Pendidikan moral dan nilai-nilai sentiasa diiktiraf dan diakui dalam
kurikulum sekolah Malaysia. Ia bermula sejak zaman penjajahan British
kerajaan, apabila kerja-kerja dakwah adalah salah satu daripada sebab-sebab bagi menyediakan
pendidikan untuk rakyat. Kurikulum yang telah dimasukkan Kitab sebagai salah satu
mata pelajaran di peringkat menengah, dan etika untuk murid-murid bukan Kristian. Mukherjee
(1986, p. 151) menyatakan bahawa terdapat "slot mingguan pada 'etika' (yang diberikan) kepada mereka bukan
murid Kristian ... dengan ekstrak liberal dari Alkitab disertai dengan kerap
desakan kepada 'baik'". Mengikuti tradisi sekolah Inggeris itu,
Sistem Sekolah Kebangsaan termasuk Pendidikan Agama Islam, ketika itu dikenali sebagai
Agama (Agama) dalam kurikulum untuk murid-murid Islam. Bagi bukan Islam
pelajar, beberapa bentuk pendidikan moral telah diberikan bagi menggantikan Agama. Lebih semangat
diberikan kepada pendidikan nilai dalam kurikulum ini. Kurikulum Baru
Sekolah Rendah (KBSR), iaitu Kurikulum Baru Sekolah Rendah dan
Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM), atau menengah Bersepadu
Kurikulum Sekolah, yang telah menamatkan kitaran pertama mereka baru-baru ini, menekankan
pengajaran nilai-nilai untuk meningkatkan pembangunan individu yang berkualiti, serta
mewujudkan warganegara Malaysia pada masa hadapan, melalui pendidikan.
