This paper is dedicated to the friends and colleagues who wish to know more about the current education in GISB / YKPPM. Whether it is different or otherwise. As we have been informed, at present we are in the mainstream, accepting the Fatwa ( religious edicts ) against our mistakes in the past . Therefore, there may be those among us who have not understood the concept of education being currently implemented in GISB .

GISB / YKPPM led by Dato Ratu Ibu Hatijah Aam has taken the stand to comply with the edicts. Everything related to what has been previously forbidden, we agree to accept wholeheartedly. Now is the time for us to accept the programs organized by JAKIM and the Religious Department in all states. No more excuses.

In the field of education, all schools under GISB / YKPPM will follow the Curriculum set by JAIS ( and by state religious departments ) and the Ministry of Education's Curriculum. What is important is the development of the students' personality. Meaning, even though the curriculum has a conceptual framework and implementation activities for teaching and learning, it can still accept additional activities to help improve the character building of students .

It is something flexible and have long been realized in many schools. Each principal is responsible to modify the existing curriculum framework to ensure that the intention embodied in the National Education Philosophy can be achieved. The purpose of education is to ensure that students have the opportunity to master knowledge and skills in line with the process of developing the mind, soul and mental towards being a good
quality individual. From a religious perspective, learning actually covers a wider scope and more focused for the future ahead which is the afterlife !

(Please refer to the National Education Philosophy as follows :
Education in Malaysia is an ongoing effort towards further developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated approach to create balanced and harmonious individuals on the aspects of their intellectual, spiritual , emotional and physical based on the belief and devotion to God. This effort is to produce Malaysian citizens who are knowledgeable, responsible and capable of achieving their own well-being and contribute to the betterment of the society and country ) .

Clearly, the National Education Philosophy has a comprehensive concept.
It depends on the extent of the usage of the available creativity by the implementation team to realize the concept. Hence, we in GISB / YKPPM emphasize on the result of the implementation of this philosophy to produce students who are indeed of good quality .

Our approach is the development of the spirit or soul of all the people involved in education. The existing curriculum is just as a basic platform. For the journey and implementation, we can use a variety of techniques and approach . Perhaps it is a bit different but the objective remains, that is to ensure the best educational outcomes .

Today many people are trying to realize the intention contained in the said philosophy but the results are disappointing. We have been informed about all these and there is no need to state the facts and examples. From this point, all have acknowledged that there are many things that need to be addressed in the education system in our country . Perhaps the implementation process should be done seriously and try to meet that targets.

For example, we in GISB / YKPPM, all staff members who are involved in education are the targeted subjects in the educational programs conducted . All individuals starting from the leader, the headmaster, the neighbourhood members, the parents, the teachers and the students are all subjected to the system. There are no exceptions. In fact this is the approach used by the Prophet. Every member of the society must go through the lifelong learning process. Education begins from the cradle and right to the grave, isn't it?

So we took the National Education Philosophy in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Education is a spiritual counseling . Lessons are merely mental or ' aqliah in nature. The purpose of naming it as ' Ministry of Education ' is to emphasize the process of learning and education. A mere learning is meaningless without being educated . This is the meaning of education. So to educate is the essence of the primary process .

In education, we should not just pay attention to the students as the proverb says " If teachers are doing their pee while standing, the students will pee while running." Because the teachers' personality must also be given attention. They act as role models to students.

All of us recognize the importance of teachers being an example and role model but with the current system, the teachers may not have their own comprehensive education. Even if that could be carried out, it is only to provide specific courses to enhance their professionalism as an educator.

This is one of the factors for the sprouting growth of tahfiz schools, religious schools and private schools that allow them to choose their own teachers who will teach in their schools. At least, they are allowed to handpick teachers that they need and want. The result is to have the affect of the teachings and the education on the students .

In general, the good quality teachers - in the aspects of his religion, it can be seen in his prayer. If a teacher is particular about performing his prayers at the beginning or early part of the prayer time, at least this teacher has made the list of the teachers sought after. But in the current system, there is no such guideline in assessing teachers' personality. Other angles has not been seen yet. Does the teacher have ill or sinful traits, abandoning the five prayers, committing big sin, being arrogant, telling lies, likes gossiping, bad-mouthing and so on? Good teachers will produce good students. That is the equation. Imagine if there are more teachers who are not good !

Similarly, the process of educating students, it requires the presence of a favorable and sound environment . All individuals who are involved in the educational activities must be in the qualified category to be a good personal example . It is not just being a teacher alone. So, anyone who is involved in education must be supported in building the best personal character. It will be complementary if all individuals are striving towards building an educational environment that is conducive and effective .

Every human especially those who are mukallaf, they are dependent on programs to help them build a safety net for both worlds. Each person must be prepared to be sent to Hereafter in the situation that he is ready to be awarded death of Husnul khatimah ( Good ending ). This is the responsibility of all leaders wherever they are. For adults, this education is needed, let alone for the children. Even if these educated children were to die at a young age, they are expected to be dwellers of Paradise in the Hereafter . This is the goal of education

So, even though we already have the National Education Philosophy, the process for student character building depends on the people who carry out the implementation. As mentioned above, to obtain the maximum educational outcome for students, then all segments of the society must be involved. They themselves must be processed to be servants of Allah, who are ready to face death. Is not death the best educators to transform human ?

Besides having the task as a leader, the individuals involved would have a more important task in correcting and improving themselves. This is certainly the duty of every person. Every mukallaf must prepare himself to meet the Lord, isn't that so? Death is a certainty. It is unfortunate if we neglect to remember this. Educating people to remember death is the essence of education .

This is our aim in GISB / YKPPM in the realization of education for our children. We register all of our schools under the state religious department so that our children are able to attend religious teachings, tahfiz program and being academically integrated .

For their counseling and character building, we place them in dormitories. They attend schooling and live in the dorms at the same place or somewhere nearby. So, there is no issue arising about them being exposed to unhealthy or destructive influences outside. In fact they are being controlled and exposed to a variety of life skills activities induced by the hostel and school environment .

They are allowed to rear animals, do gardening and carpentry. They can also learn the skills in electrical, electronic equipment repairs, phone repairs, computers and so on . For the adventurous and the strong ones, they can learn about building construction and renovations, automotive repairs and even make a building !

Training students with various kinds of life skills will make the students individuals who are practical and active. They can choose any area of their interest and liking. They do not want to be the kids who are 'spoon fed' or like 'a chicken being reared for their meat' whose activities are mere playing computer games !
