| الملخص: | Lifelong learning initiatives, whether utilising e-Learning or otherwise, are a relatively
new phenomenon in Malaysia. Education for many people is still characterised by
formal schooling; and for a certain disadvantaged section of the population, post-sec-
ondary education may not even be a possibility or an option. Out of the projected
number of 881, 247 individuals enrolled at upper secondary school level in 2010,
only 277, 904 (or 31.54 per cent) actually go on to participate in post-secondary
education (Government of Malaysia, 2006). The remainder 68.46 per cent may gain
employment without furthering their education, or may not be employed at all. This
points to an even greater role that lifelong learning programmes has to play; as a
formal, non-formal or informal means for many more individuals to attain some form
of education to improve both their professional and personal lives. The foremost
individual who made the earliest proposal for the enculturation of lifelong learning
in Malaysia is the then incumbent Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir Mohamad. During
and following his tenure, the Government began strategising to implement lifelong
learning, particularly in the 8MP, OPP3, KEMP, 9MP, NHEAP and NHESP. (Executive summary by the authors) |
