ABSTRACT
After establishing the
governances in Southeast Asian nations (except Thailand) in the second half of
the 19th century, Western
governments implemented economic, political, cultural, and social policies. In particular, education policy
not only affected the socio-economic, but also had
long-term effects of their colonial rule. In addition
to the long tradition education that had profoundly influenced the culture, thought, and lifestyle of
indigenous peoples. Colonial governments adopted a new, secular education followed by the Western model in
Southeast Asia countries.
This new education had many
differences compared to the traditional education in program, content, management, etc. The setting-up of the new education was the long fighting process between
the religious education and the secular
education, between the
conservative and radical forces. The article
presents and analyzes the new education in Philippines, Myanmar, and Malaysia from
the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century to confirm
popularity, science, and humanity of this new education.
