调整与转型：马来西亚华人社团对华文 教育的作用

Abstract

Humankind is standing at the threshold of social reforms and Information Technology developments. The sudden eruption of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused profound political, economic, cultural and other changes and quickening the pace of modernization in the absence of adequate conditions. As an important component of the social system, education has been unavoidably constrained and influenced by recent changes. Under these circumstances, what are the new demands that society asks from education? How does Malaysian Chinese education adapt to social changes and challenges? As the backbone of support of Chinese education, how do Chinese organisations keep abreast of the times to support and advance the sustainable development of Chinese education? From the perspective of Chinese social changes and the development of Chinese education, this study will analyse how Chinese organisations adjust and adapt themselves internally and to transform themselves externally, and consequently to examine how they may play their role in advancing Chinese education in keeping with constant social changes.
