Abstract

This paper explores how the Education System concerning Moral Education (ME) has evolved over the years. ME is a core subject for non Muslim students in Malaysian schools and complements Islamic Studies taken by Muslim students. Over the years, the subject has undergone various evaluation and changes. With the forthcoming implementation of a transformative syllabus starting from the year 2011 in Malaysia, the paper critically looks at the purpose of such a change in the system pertaining to ME starting from primary schools.
