education in malaysia

ok. i dont know how to start and where i should start. lets get started with this. i got it from wikipedia. its about education in malaysia :)

Education in Malaysia is overseen by two government ministries. The Ministry of Education (Kementerian Pelajaran) which literally translates to 'Ministry of Learning' handles matters pertaining to pre-school, primary school, secondary school and post-secondary school. Matters regarding tertiary education is handled by the Ministry of Higher Education (Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi) or 'Ministry of Higher Learning'. Although education is the responsibility of the federal government, each state has an Education Department to help coordinate educational matters in their respective states. The main legislation governing education is the Education Act of 1996.
Education may be obtained from public schools (Sekolah Kebangsaan) which provides free education for all Malaysians, government-aided schools, private schools, or through homeschooling. By law, primary education is compulsory. As in many Asia-Pacific countries such as the Republic of Korea, Singapore and Japan, standardised tests are a common feature.
