Summary

Introduction

In the era of information revolution and globalization which speed up modernization, education faces the challenge of generating a balanced and holistic human capital from physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual aspects. Today's dualism education system is unable to develop holistic individuals because it focuses on one aspect of education only either traditional Islamic education system or secular education system (Crystal et al, 2011 p.24). Education focuses on academic education, science and technology while on the other side it tends to emphasize religious education. The generation who mastered in academic, science and technology was born but they had less understanding on religious knowledge. Another group had strong religious understanding but lacked in academic, science and technology. It is clear that dualism in education causes no integration and creates imbalance to the roles of developing the country (Retrieved from http://www.sinarharian.com.my/kolumnis/cikgu-sidekbaba/dualisme-dalam-pendidikan-1.512200)
