HOLISTIC EDUCATION TRAINING AND RESEARCH CENTRE, established in 2011, is an organization created in line with the Malaysia's National Education Philosophy as the following:
"Education in Malaysia is on-going efforts towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holistic manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced and harmonic, based on a firm belief in and devotion to God. Such an effort is designed to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards and who are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony an betterment of the family, the society and the nation at large." |
From our past experience, we are strongly believed that education is a very significant tool to develop our nation. However, as our nation history shown that we have been colonized by British and have become independence country 1957. Therefore, we cannot deny that our education system is a colonialist heritage which is very strong with the spirit of secularation. Even though, we live in an independent country but our education system, education curriculum and education approach are still influence by the spirit secularation. Consequently, we have produced separated thinker (think in the way colonizer wanted us to think), dualism system, unbalance and weak individuals who are not be able to face and lead the changes but only become good follower. This problems have contribute a lot to social problem in our society today.
For that reasons, this group has been formed.
For that reasons, this group has been formed.
We strongly believe that.... 1. Malaysia's National Education Philosophy (NEP) should become the main and the only education philosophy for all level of educations to unite broad area of educations either science and technology basis nor social science education basis. NEP is the best reference for us to develop and transform our education system into our own mould. If we have a dream to get free from secular education system, we have to educate our educator, administrator, politician, leaders to really understand and appreciate the important message stated by NEP. So that they are be able to translate and transform the message of NEP through education system, curriculum, teaching and learning approach and etc. 2. Only holistic education could produce holistic students. Therefore, the main purpose of this web-site is to enlighten the concept of holistic education approach because we believe that only holistic education could produce holistic students. The meaning of holistic education here is the integration of divine knowledge / message (ilmu wahyu) with intellectual knowledge (knowledge related with career). We believe that the knowledge integration process should become another alternative to teaching and learning approch just like problem solving, project based learning and etc. In other words holistic education give an alternative solution for education and sosial problem today.
