（吉隆坡24日訊）教育總監丹斯里阿里慕丁說，政府雖在2013年起將歷史科列為大馬教育文憑（SPM）必須及格的科目，但不會修改歷史科課程綱要，只增加大馬歷史的學習比重。
他說，教育部會在大馬歷史科的部分，加強對大馬建國歷史、聯邦憲法及國家原則的學習。
阿里慕丁今天接受《中國報》電訪時，這么指出。
學習愛國精神
副首相兼教育部長丹斯里慕尤丁昨天宣佈，2013年起，考生必須考獲歷史科目及格，才能獲得SPM文憑。
阿里慕丁強調，歷史科是大馬很重要的科目，但很多學生不重視這項科目，相信今后學生會嚴正看待歷史科。
他說，透過歷史，學生會更瞭解這個國家，並學習愛國及團結精神。
“學生目前分階段學習大馬、東南亞、歐洲及世界歷史，今后將拉長補短，因大馬歷史學習比重增加，其他部分則減少。”
教育部的這項新措施，引起政黨及教育領域兩大疑慮，有人擔憂這會降低SPM的及格率，或歷史教科書成為執政黨的政治工具。
