Selamat Datang ke Laman Web LVE, Malaysia!
Welcome to Malaysia's LVE website!
Presentation of the "Living Values Young Adults" book to Her Royal Highness Tuanku Najinah Bte. Tunku Besar Burhannudin in celebration of Women's Day, 24th August 2001 at Women's Institute of Management, Malaysia.
Background
Living Values Education in Malaysia (LVE) is in its 7th year of
implementation. Since its representation at the very first Living Values
Educational Initiative Train-the-Trainer session in 1997 at the Global Retreat
Centre in Oxford, England, the Malaysian team has never looked back!
In Malaysia, Noble Integrated Childhood Education (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (NICE) is
the national representative for Living Values Education in Malaysia. It is
headed by Ms. Shahida Abdul-Samad who also assists in LVEP activities in the
region of South East Asia. NICE is an Institution of Higher Learning accredited
by the Ministry of Education Malaysia and the Selangor State Department of
Education.
This collaborative effort between LVEP and NICE, is our response to the call of
our Minister of Education in 1994, the Honorable Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak, to
do "something" for our future generations:
"Seeing that we have slightly more than five years left before the 21st
Century, we certainly have a lot of work ahead of us. We believe that it is our
duty and responsibility of our present generation to do something for our
future generations. We would have failed in our endeavours if we do not respond
positively to this call of duty."
