analyses conducted By the<br />
Pmo<br />
The PMO conducted analyses and built the core fact base for the<br />
<strong>Blueprint</strong> from a number of internal and external sources.<br />
Key information sources<br />
▪ Ministry reports: The <strong>Blueprint</strong> drew upon over 100 reports<br />
published by the Ministry and various Ministry divisions over the<br />
last 10 years. These include:<br />
» Ministry reports that are publicly available such as Malaysian<br />
Education Statistics, Quick Facts and the Annual Report of the<br />
Ministry of Education;<br />
» Internal reports and publications such as the detailed UPSR,<br />
PMR, and SPM Assessment Results, the Detailed Operating<br />
Expenditure Report, the Development Expenditure Report, the<br />
School Inspection Report, and the Annual Audit Report; and<br />
» Special policy papers on topics such as KSSR, PBS, MBMMBI,<br />
PPSMI, 1 Student 1 Sport, and Pembestarian.<br />
▪ Major reviews and policy documents: Since independence,<br />
several major reforms and reviews have been conducted. The<br />
<strong>Blueprint</strong> has referenced these reports to provide a historical<br />
perspective across a number of areas. To this end, reform and<br />
strategy documents and supporting evidence were examined such as<br />
the Razak Report (1956), Rahman Talib Report (1960), Education<br />
Act 1961, Cabinet Committee Report (1979), National Education<br />
Philosophy (1988), Education <strong>Blueprint</strong> (2006-2010), and Strategic<br />
Plan: Transformation of Vocational Education (2011).<br />
▪ Ministry database: The analyses at the core of the <strong>Blueprint</strong>, from<br />
student outcomes to the drivers of performance, is based on data<br />
provided by divisions across the Ministry. These include:<br />
» EMIS from the EPRD, comprising student, teacher, and school<br />
information such as demographics of students and teachers, grade<br />
level of teachers, and infrastructure in schools among others;<br />
» Secondary School Operations or Operasi Menengah (OPMEN)<br />
from the Day School Operation Unit comprising detailed<br />
personnel data on teachers to deployment of teachers throughout<br />
the education system; and<br />
» The IAB EMIS database from the Aminuddin Baki Institute<br />
comprising data on principal participation in preparatory,<br />
induction, and in-service training.<br />
▪ Literature review and international research: To benchmark<br />
aspects of the Malaysian education system with countries globally, a<br />
wide literature review of academic publications, education journals,<br />
non-governmental organisation publications, and the mainstream<br />
media was undertaken. A sample of these are included below:<br />
» Changing Education Paradigms by Sir Ken Robinson, published<br />
in 2010;<br />
» Cumulative and Residual Effects on Future Student Academic<br />
Achievement by Sanders and Rivers, published in 1996;<br />
» Deliverology 101: A Field Guide For Educational Leaders, by<br />
Michael Barber, published in 2010;<br />
» Education Today: Mother Tongue Dilemma by UNESCO,<br />
published in 2002;<br />
» How the World’s Most Improved School Systems Keep Getting<br />
Better by McKinsey & Company, published in 2010;<br />
» Impossible and Necessary by Sir Michael Barber, presented at the<br />
ASCL annual conference in 2009;<br />
» Reviews of Vocational Education and Training—Learning<br />
for Jobs by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and<br />
Development (OECD), published in 2010;<br />

by the OECD, published in 2005; and<br />
» Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) by the<br />
OECD, published in 2010.<br />
▪ International data: To further quantitatively benchmark<br />
Malaysia’s education system outcomes and drivers, several<br />
international data sources were analysed, including:<br />
» Education at a Glance from the OECD comprising yearly<br />
indicators on global education;<br />
» PISA Results by the Australian Council for Education Research<br />
(ACER) comprising information and analyses on student<br />
performance in PISA;<br />
» TIMSS Results by the International Association for the Evaluation<br />
of Educational Achievement and PISA comprising information<br />
and analyses on student performance in TIMSS and PISA<br />
international assessments;<br />
» UNESCO Institute for Statistics comprising statistics on education<br />
systems such as student enrolment and participation, teaching<br />
staff, and education expenditure; and<br />
» World Bank Database comprising financial indicators of global<br />
education systems including spending as a percentage of total<br />
government budget.<br />
▪ Nationwide surveys: The Ministry recognises the importance<br />
of obtaining first-hand information from a large portion of the<br />
population across the country to create a robust picture of the<br />
system today. As such, the Ministry conducted a number of online<br />
surveys, designed to be a representative sample of the population<br />
across states and urban/rural locations.
