KLSR was introduced after Malaysian independence in 1960. A committee called the Rahman Talib Report was formed to reconstruct the national education policy based on previous reports from 1956 and 1957. The committee reviewed the traditional teacher-centered classroom structure where students sat in rows, lacked group activities, and were passive. It also examined the importance of the Malay language in examinations and for promoting unity as well as minimizing illiteracy.
