| description | The social issues and gangsterism rates among Indian adolescents have been in
the rise in Malaysia over the last decade (Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah, Polis Diraja Malaysia,
2003). As academics in fields of humanities and language, the researchers writing this
paper wanted to specifically initiate and analyse the teaching of Moral Education in Tamil
vernacular primary schools in Malaysia. These subject has been questioned and brought
up by educators and students involved in these schools. The issue is whether Moral
Education (ME) is actually being implemented in Tamil Primary schools is looked into.
This paper discusses the way ME is foreseen and being implemented in Tamil vernacular
schools especially in Year 6 when students are prepared for their first centralised
examination. It also looks into the effects of values education for Primary 6 Tamil
students who move into another dimension of education when they are in Form One
secondary classes. |
