| Summary: | Before independence, the British promoted a Malay vernacular education with some form of Islamic education. This gave rise to what
is popularly known as the dichotomy of education into secular and
religious streams. The Malaysian government later made an effort
for the reintroduction of Islamic education and in the 1970s implemented the New Economic Policy. Under the policy, the government realized the importance of Islamic education in affirming
Malay hegemony. The study attempts to shed light on the variety
of forms, patterns, and evolutionary trends of Islamic education and
hopefully present a more subtle picture of the Malaysian Islamic
education |
