The new Malaysian Primary School Curriculum is called Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR). This curriculum started in the year 2011. The KSSR curriculum was introduced as an effort to restructure and improve the current curriculum to ensure that students have the relevant knowledge, skills and values to face the challenges of the 21st century.

What is meant by a Standard Curriculum?

KSSR was formulated based on a statement of standards. The statement of standards is comprised of content standards and learning standards which need to be achieved by a student in a specific period and level of schooling. The Content and Learning standards are defined as follows:

• Contents Standards are specific statements on what the students must know and can do, within a specific period of schooling, covering the areas of knowledge, skills and values.

• Learning Standards are set criteria or indicators of education quality and achievements which can be measured for each content standard.
