The The Relationship Between Academic Freedom and the National Education Philosophy in Malaysia: A Critical Approach. A Critical Approach
Main Article Content
Abstract
Academic freedom is one of the basic rights towards improving the quality of teaching and learning processes. A quality educational system should have a clear goal of producing competitive, creative, and progressive human capital as well as capable of expressing thoughtful and sound ideas to enhance holistic and integrated national progress. Malaysia’s educational system by the National Education Philosophy underscores that integrated education should be a key thrust in educating and producing students who are able to compete internationally. With the accomplishment of several key thrusts to achieve that goal, the National Education Philosophy has also laid down an education basis through the formation of a knowledge-based community peculiar to the foundation of an integrated national development. Achieving this goal will contribute to a strong and substantial progress in addressing the challenges of globalization that every individual in the society needs to face.
