First, I need to assess the scope. Malaysian education is a broad topic, covering primary to tertiary levels, public and private streams, exams like UPSR, PT3, SPM, STPM, plus the unique national school vs. vernacular school (Chinese and Tamil) system. School life includes daily routines, co-curricular activities, uniforms, the role of teachers, and cultural aspects like morning assemblies and canteen food.
To preserve cultural and linguistic heritage, the government funds vernacular primary schools: Mandarin is the primary language of instruction. SJK(T): Tamil is the primary language of instruction.
Spans five years, divided into Lower Secondary (Forms 1 to 3) and Upper Secondary (Forms 4 and 5).
