KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 — The pilot programme for the Imam Al-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith module will involve 61 National Religious Secondary Schools (SMKA) and 228 government-aided religious schools (SABK) nationwide.
The Education Ministry (MOE) in a statement today said the module’s implementation will only involve Muslim teachers and students.
It said the module is aimed at fostering values of courtesy and love, and strengthening religious understanding among Muslim teachers and students.
“This initiative is hoped to produce a generation of children who are good and intelligent and of high morals, based on three main elements — manners, morality and integrity,” said the MOE.
The MOE said it strives to instil noble values including unity, interculturalism, religious diversity and mutual respect between races in every initiative implemented in educational institutions it administers.
