SCHOOLS
There are hundreds, if not thousand of schools in this world. In Malaysia, we have seven types of schools. They are Malay schools, Tamil schools, Chinese schools, international schools, private schools, and religious schools.
There is only one type of Malay schools and they are the Malay government schools. Malay schools are the most common types of schools in Malaysia. You can find at least one Malay school in a town. Malay schools are divided into two. They are the Malay primary schools and the Malay secondary schools. Malaysians start their primary school education at the age of seven. They will then be in standard 1 and they will stay until they are in standard 6, which is until they are 12 years old. The following year they will go to form 1 in the secondary school and they will continue studying there until they finish form 5 so that they can go to either college or start work immediately or they can continue to form 6 so that they can go to university immediately thereafter. Every student has to sit for the UPSR examination when they are in standard 6, the PMR examination when they are in form 3, the SPM examination when they are in form 5, and the STPM examination when they are in form 6. All the lessons in the primary and secondary schools are, with the exception of the English lesson, are conducted in Malay.
There is only one type of Tamil school in Malaysia and they are the government ones. Tamil schools are very much like the Malay schools with the exception that all lessons except English and Malay are in Tamil. Their syllabus is a lot like the syllabus of the Malay schools. The only difference is that they have to enter a Malay school when they go to form one. They normally spend a year in a special class after they finish the UPSR examination so that they can cope with the high standard of Malay in the Malay school they will be going to. Then they will they will continue studying at the school like any other student.
Chinese schools are very much like Tamil schools. All their lessons except English and Malay are in Chinese. Their syllabus is a lot like the syllabus of the Malay schools. However, they can choose to continue their education in a Chinese secondary school after they finish their UPSR examination or they can choose to go to a special class after the examination and then continue their education in a Malay secondary school.
Schools are split into four categories/types known as maintained schools. These schools receive funding at least partially from the government. The main differences in mainstream schools come down to the way in which the schools are managed and run. For example a foundation school has its own governing board that decides its admissions policy in agreement with the local education authority. Support services are budgeted for and bought in
There are many different types of schools. State schools are required to deliver the National Curriculum.

The most representative sources presenting the official view of the marginalisation of the Malays came from the ruling elite. Indeed, the controversial issue of Malay marginality has been widely debated over the years, In the 1970s, the Majlis Pusat, or Central Council of Malay Cultural Organisations, organised a national seminar on “Malay Participation in the National Development”, which they deemed a “national problem” (Sharom & Wong, 1971, p.1), indicating that the Malays had a lack of interest in national and political issues. We see that the government needed to treat the Malays differently in order to deal with this issue, and “was constantly reiterating its recognition of the ‘special position’ of Malays and its commitment to overcome this imbalance” (Suratman, 2004, p.3), and this confirms that the Malays were indeed marginal in society.
Malaysia have a Malay culture, a Chinese culture, an Indian culture , a Eurasian culture, along with the cultures. the peninsula and north Borneo. A unified Malaysian culture is something only emerging in the country. The important social distinction in the emergent national culture is between Malay and non-Malay, represented by two groups: the Malay elite that dominates the country's politics, and the largely Chinese middle class whose prosperous lifestyle leads Malaysia's shift to a consumer society. The two groups mostly stay in the urban areas of the Malay Peninsula's west coast, and their sometimes competing, sometimes parallel effect shape the shared life of Malaysia's citizens. Sarawak and Sabah, the two Malaysian states located in north Borneo, tend to be less a influential part of the national culture.

Malaysia is a multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual society which consist of three major races; the Malays, the Chinese, and the Indians. They are once immigrants who are brought in as workers by the British. The tribal people who lived in Malaysia long before the existence of the three races are known as the Orang Asli which means “Original People”; they populate the East Malaysia more in Sabah (Dayak, Iban, and Bidayuh) and Sarawak (Kadazan) in our current era. There are also other immigrants and expatriates races like Indonesian, Europeans, and etc. Among the three races, the Malay population is the largest.

The structure of schooling in the Philippines is something that has changed many times over the years, and is still changing today. It started out with six years of elementary education, which was compulsory for students between ages 7-12, after that schooling was optional. However, recently they have switched to a more traditional K-12 structure, but it has yet to be implemented in rural communities and other areas. Progress in the Philippines is slow, but the process that started in 2011 is scheduled to be in full effect by 2017.
