INTRODUCTION

In Malaysia, the objective of nation building and forging national unity amongst the
various ethnic groups ranks very high in her educational and political agendas. In fact
national unity and integration are the cornerstone of the education policy. It was stated as our
major goals of the national education policy as the following: To inculcate and nurture
national consciousness through fostering common ideals, values, aspiration and loyalties in
order to mould national unity and national identity in a multi-ethnic society.
These public school teachers are expected to teach a diversified group of students
including students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and students who may

various ethnic groups beyond mere physical integration, and intends to eliminate social
prejudices and discrimination.
