Latest Issues in the Implementation of Inclusive Education and Health Risks for Pupils with Special Educational Needs in Malaysia

Abstract

Education for all is the principle of Education For All (EFA) implemented by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM) has responded to the call to develop holistic and balanced human capital from various aspects to ensure Malaysia's sustainable development for the future. Therefore, MoE has introduced the Inclusive Education Program (PPI) based on the principle of zero rejection through the concept of education for all. This policy supports the Education (Special Education) Regulations, 2013. Inclusive Education Program is a term used as a mainstreaming that means Students with Special Education Needs (SES) are placed in mainstream classes. PPI has been implemented in Malaysia for a long time, but the effectiveness of implementation and achievement of goals increase the participation and opportunities of MBPK to follow academic and non-academic programs together with mainstream students. Besides making sure not to deny MBPK's potential for the opportunities they have.
