Скачать или смотреть School System in Malaysia | What is Vernacular School: The History, The Pros & Cons

#DeepTalkwithSellyGouw

Malaysia and its government like to pride itself on its multiracial and multicultural of a society. It is mainly made up of Malay, Chinese and Indian ethnicities, with other ethnic groups such as Kadazan and Iban, spread out across East Malaysia.

In today’s video, it’ll cover the topic of Vernacular School System. To Indonesians, this system is not familiar to our ears, but to all Malaysians, this topic has been a hot debate for a while now.

Vernacular schools, which are schools that use languages other than Malay and English as the main medium, have been around since colonial times. In simple terms, vernacular language is a local language commonly spoken by a community. Vernacular medium schools are schools where the medium of education is a local or native language.

They are a fixture of the educational landscape in Malaysia thanks to Chinese and Indian migrants who wanted to provide their children with alternative academic opportunities when they settled in the country.

Currently, public primary schools are divided into two categories based on the medium of instruction:
Malay-medium National Schools (Sekolah Kebangsaan, SK)
non-Malay-medium National-type Schools (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan, SJK), also known as "vernacular schools", further divided into
National-type School (Chinese) (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina), SJK(C)), Mandarin-medium and simplified Chinese writing
National-type School (Tamil) (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil), SJK (T)), Tamil-medium
All schools admit students regardless of racial and language background.
