After the independence in Malaysia, educational system was formulated, and now the school attendance rate has reached up to 100%. In different provinces, educational system is different, but in Kuala Lumpur, students attend elementary school for 6 years, junior high school for 2 years, senior high school for 2 years, college preparatory school for 2 years, and go to advanced educational institutions such as universities and special schools to follow. Periods could be somewhat different, but most of the provinces have a system similar to above. Since Malaysia is a multi-racial country, teaching is done in Malay, Chinese and Tamir in elementary schools.
In high schools and prep schools, students take a common achievement test, and get different scholastic certificates according to their results. Thus, students are qualified to go on the next stage of education. In other words, the result of the common achievement test decides which university we enter. (In Malaysia, universities are national with no exception.) The ratio of students who go on to university is up to 30%. There are universities such as "Malaya" and "National" in Malaysia. Besides entering university, successful applicants can go on to special schools such as training school for teachers.
