Access to Education in Peninsular Malaysia: Ethnicity, Social Class, and Gender.
Pong, Suet-ling
Compare, v25 n3 p239-52 1995
Presents a comprehensive examination of the development of postindependent Malaysia's education policies. Compulsory education combined with sustained economic growth has produced a literate and upwardly mobile Malay population. Preferential policies for the Malays, however, have resulted in increased stratification and inequality among the Chinese and Indian populations. (MJP)
