Basically, education taught at large is secular in nature. Spiritual education is always not given prominence. <\/p>\n
I believe Malaysia is one of the few countries where Moral Education and Islamic Education are taught in schools. <\/p>\n
Schools are the source of knowledge, including spirituality. This vital knowledge should be imparted to all children. Ignoring values, ethics and spirituality in education is not acceptable, as pointed out by Muhyiddin. <\/p>\n
Education without the spiritual elements is not wholesome. <\/p>\n
In fact, spiritual elements are the basics of a human being. Spirituality differentiates the human beings and other creations of the Almighty. <\/p>\n
Children can attain perfection through spiritual qualities. <\/p>\n
Spirituality teaches us unity, union and harmony among men, respect among elders as well as tolerance and brotherhood. <\/p>\n
If these values are embedded in the young minds of children, we would have a peaceful and beautiful world. <\/p>\n
Every child is potentially the light and darkness of the world, therefore education has to be accounted as of primary importance. <\/p>\n
