Abstract

Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 telah banyak merubah nasib dan masa depan negeri Sabah dan Sarawak khasnya. Penubuhan Malaysia 1963 menetapkan perlindungan bagi melindungi hak dan keistimewaan rakyat di negeri Sarawak melalui siri Laporan IGC yang dijadikan asas kepada Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 dan Perlembagaan Persekutuan Malaysia. Autonomi pendidikan adalah salah satu daripada hak yang diberikan kepada Sarawak bagi melindungi sistem pendidikan menerusi Ordinan Pelajaran Sarawak sejak dari zaman colonial dan juga bahasa rasmi di Sarawak iaitu bahasa Inggeris. Walau bagaimanapun, beberapa siri pindaan akta yang melibatkan kepentingan kanak-kanak dalam usaha memberikan pendidikan yang berkualiti menyebabkan ramai yang melihat bahawa perkara inilah yang membuatkan autonomi pendidikan di dalam Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 adalah tidak relevan untuk diperdebatkan dan diperjuangkan. Hasil dapatan perbincangan makalah bertujuan untuk membuktikan bahawa kebersamaan Sarawak di dalam Penubuhan Malaysia 1963 telah banyak memberi manfaat kepada sistem pendidikan yang digunapakai oleh Sarawak selari dengan negeri lain di Malaysia selaras dengan bidang pendidikan adalah bidang yang diletakkan di bawah bidang kuasa kerajaan persekutuan Malaysia.

 

The Malaysia Agreement 1963 has greatly changed the fate and future of Sabah and Sarawak. The establishment of Malaysia 1963 sets out the protection to protect the rights and privileges of the people in Sarawak through a series of Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) Reports which form the basis of the 1963 Malaysia Agreement and the Federal Constitution of Malaysia. Educational autonomy is one of the rights given
to Sarawak to protect the education system through the Sarawak Education Ordinance since colonial times as well as official languages in Sarawak, namely English. However, a series of amendments to the Act involving the interests of children in the effort of providing quality education led many to see that this is what makes the education autonomy in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement irrelevant to be debated and championed. The findings of the paper discussion aim to prove that Sarawak's association in the Establishment of Malaysia 1963 has greatly benefited the Sarawak-based education system in line with other states in Malaysia in line with the education sector is a field setting under the jurisdiction of the federal government of Malaysia.
