Kuala lumpur: The government will enhance unity education through a more practical, high-impact approach, including the integration of Rukun Negara values, experiential learning, and cross-cultural interaction programmes in educational institutions. National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang highlighted this initiative as a key topic at the National Unity Advisory Council (MPPN) Meeting No. 1 of 2026.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the meeting discussed strategic proposals and recommendations to bolster national unity in addressing current challenges, including social polarisation, civic literacy, and the impact of digital transformation on society. The council also reviewed proposals to improve the General Studies Subjects (MPU) in higher education institutions through four new modules focusing on nation-building, appreciation of the Federal Constitution, civic literacy, and a culture of integrity.
Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang further noted that the meeting considered proposals to reinforce the Community Sensitive Issues Reference Centre (PRISMA). This center aims to serve as a platform for data coordination, early warning, and a national reference hub for managing sensitive community issues in a more comprehensive and integrated manner.
