Secondary Schools in Malaysia
Secondary schooling takes 5 years altogether. Similar to primary schools, secondary schools can usually be recognised by the prefixes in their names, such as : SMK - Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan; SMJK - Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan; SMJK(C) - Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina; SMJK(T) - Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil; SMB - Sekolah Menengah Bantuan; and However, they all subscribe to the same national curriculum known as KBSM (Kurikulum Baru Sekolah Menengah / Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah), or New Curriculum for Secondary School / Integrated Curriculum for Secondary School. Using this scheme, secondary schooling is separated into Lower Secondary School (Sekolah Menengah Rendah - SMR) and Upper Secondary School (Sekolah Menengah Atas - SMA). Form 1, Form 2 and Form 3 are grouped as SMR; Form 4 and Form 5 are grouped as SMA.
The academic subjects (mata pelajaran)
taught under KBSM are listed below:

Clusters of excellence Every school has a chance to join the Education Ministry's elite league of cluster schools, but it is a responsibility not to be taken lightly, Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein tells StarEducation in a preview of the National Education Blueprint 2006-2010.
DOES your school have an excellent academic record? Is it blessed with a top-class administration and historical pedigree? Is it equipped with first-rate facilities? Is it strong in a specific area like music or sports? If the answer is yes, the Education Ministry invites you to join its cluster of excellent schools. The decision to open up the selection process for the pioneer 300 cluster schools was made when the ministry was bombarded with calls and applications from schools that wanted to be included in the initiative, Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said in an interview on Friday. “Since I first announced the idea, the Ministry has been swamped with calls and applications from interested schools. Therefore, once the ministry establishes the final guidelines and criteria, I plan to open the application to become a cluster school to all. Everybody and anybody can apply to become a cluster school by submitting their respective RFPs (request for proposal),” he said. One of the main strategies in the upcoming National Education Blueprint 2006-2010, the cluster school concept was mooted to spur outstanding schools in the country to achieve world-class standards. “To successfully compete and win in today’s environment, our students have to master the art of critical thinking – able to think out of the box, confident and most importantly, marketable. Also, our schools must be world class – able to produce all rounded Malaysians. It is therefore important that our system undergoes a reengineering and realignment process to ensure that we are not overcome by these developments,” he noted. In the last few decades, added Hishammuddin, the focus has been on education for all, but now the time has come to shift some of the focus to the top of the crop. In addition to the prestigious upgrading, these schools will be required to develop their individual niche areas like sports, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), music, co-curricular activities, sciences and special education. Previously, however, the ministry had said that it would identify the deserving candidates for the first rollout. The change in approach, he explained, was aimed at empowering schools, parents and other stakeholders instead of implementing a top down decision. To help schools write their proposals, the guidelines and criteria will be published in March. For a transparent selection process, a special select committee comprising experts, stakeholders and ministry officials will be established to vet through the applications and shortlist them for the final approval. Shared Hishammuddin, the ministry conducted a thorough research by visiting and studying various models of top schools in the world, including Singapore, Britain and Australia to determine how these schools will be effectively run. One measure, he explained, is to give the heads of the chosen schools more autonomy in managing the running of their schools from human resource to assets, funds and student intake. “They can advertise and choose the teachers and staff which will serve in their school, decide on which students can enter their schools, raise additional funds to finance things such as additional pay for their teachers, additional procurement and programmes. “They can also manage their teaching and learning by exploring different methods and assessment as well as a different curriculum,” he revealed. However, he stressed, with the increased autonomy and authority, come the equally important aspect of responsibility and accountability. “I hope the interested schools know that the standards will be strict because they will be the benchmark for other schools,” he shared, adding that he is encouraged by the interest as it reflects the high level of confidence within the system. These schools will be monitored very closely by not only the ministry but also other related parties such as the Parent-Teacher Associations and the general public. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) will be established, against which the schools will be judged, he added. As a demonstration of the ministry's seriousness, he said: “A carrot and stick approach will also be adopted whereby schools which perform will be extended more assistance, while schools which do not will be penalized.” An important criterion to ensure the success of the initiative is school leadership, he stressed. “We need leaders who can inspire the next generation and make them want to excel. Therefore, it is crucial that significant emphasis and attention be given to empower and uplift the status of the teaching profession.” The focus on the teaching profession is clearly spelt out in the blueprint with various strategies proposed to improve the quality and welfare of teachers over the next five years. “For one, future applications to become teachers will be made more stringent. I want to ensure that those who are recruited in the profession are the crème de la crème, dedicated, passionate and possess strong leadership qualities. Furthermore, the ministry will expand on its effort to 'head hunt' quality teachers-to-be, by catching them young (after SPM), via the existing programmes.” Second, he highlighted, is improving in-service training for teachers. “This is crucial as we need to ensure the leadership capacity and skills of our teachers are brought up a step through reorientation and reemphasis in certain areas. Leadership is a key element; without able and innovative leaders; the autonomy agenda cannot work.” |
