Fulfilling the Aspirations of Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025: Issues and Challenges

Abstract

The education system in Malaysia has undergone continuous development in order to create a top-notch global education system. The Malaysian Education Blueprint (2013-2025) acts as a strategic plan to meet the future requirements of the education system in Malaysia. This blueprint places significant emphasis on five key areas: assessment, quality, equity, unity, and efficiency. It also centers around five important goals for students, encompassing knowledge acquisition, critical thinking abilities, leadership aptitude, bilingual proficiency, as well as ethics, spirituality, and national identity. In order to realize these objectives, the blueprint presents 11 transformative changes that need to be implemented.

This paper explores the challenges and issues that need to be addressed in order to fulfil the aspirations outlined in the guiding policy. It also proposes strategies to overcome these challenges and ensure the successful implementation of the blueprint's objectives.
