With a 60% Muslim population, it also enjoys the reputation of being a moderate and peaceful nation. However, with just a short time left to realising its Vision 2020 of developed nationhood, the pathway of nation building still seems ambiguous. There is a brewing tension in its race and ethnic relations which has permeated the various fronts, namely politics, society, economics and education. This book analyses the education policies that have been formulated and implemented in Malaysia since independence. It demonstrates how these policy enactments have influenced the nation's growth and transformation, and the challenges faced in creating a model of equity and multicultural co-existence among its racially and ethnically diversified people. Shedding light on these issues, it points towards the major mending that is needed for Malaysia to become a truly developed nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eEducation of ethnic minorities in Malaysia: Contesting issues in a multiethnic society\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccess and equity issues in Malaysian higher education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eGraduate employability in government discourse: A critical perspective\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive book is a case study on Malaysia that will supplement researchers and advance students in their understanding of a multi-racial society's perspective and attitude towards education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suseela Malakolunthu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138188107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138188105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Suseela Malakolunthu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659237830911,"sku":"9781138188105","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/policy-discourses-in-malaysian-education-suseela-malakolunthu-9781138188105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
