INTRODUCTION
Many changes since independence, especially in
the eighties
Based on the Report of the Cabinet Education
Review Committee in Implementing the
Education Policy (1979), KBSR was
implemented in 1983
KBSM was implemented in 1989

KBSR
Emphasised the ability to master basic skills in
3M (reading, writing and counting) and the
overall individual development
It is hoped that the schools will be able to
produce students with adequate knowledge, noble
characters and ability to contribute positively to
the progress, prosperity and harmony of the
nation

The programmes of KBSR and KBSM were

planned according to the Education Policy 1979,
which subsequently became a basis to devise the
National Education Philosophy (FPN)

PHILOSOPHY OF KBSR MATHS

EDUCATION
Students are required to obtain knowledge and
master skills through direct experience.
This experience must be suitable to the learning
objective via interesting activities.
All teaching and learning activities must involve
every student actively.

Evaluation must be used in each stage of

teaching and learning in order to assess
comprehensively the weaknesses as well as to
improve students level of achievement
Evaluation also help teachers to analyse the
weaknesses and to improve the effectiveness of
T&L

Conducive atmosphere should be created in the

classroom to encourage pupils to think, to
question and to express their ideas through
active participation.
Allows children to exchange ideas, work together
to achieve the learning objectives

Through T&L activities, every child is able to

experience overall and balanced development of
cognitive, psychomotor, emotion and social
aspects
