| 520 | |a This study traces the development of female education in the Malay states including Singapore since the early 18th century and in the 19th century. The discussion begins from the issues of the passive development of the formal education system for female students under the administration of the British colonial government. This situation is related to the attitude of the Malay society towards the importance of education for their daughters which resulted in the lack of female enrolment to school in the 18th century. This study further elaborates on the positive development of female education in the 19th century. This development is highly associated with the efforts contributed by Islamic Reformist and a group of female teachers that campaigned on the importance of female education mainly through their writings in magazines, newspapers, and novels. However, the development of female education came to a standstill during the outbreak of World War Two. Nevertheless, the period of the Japanese Occupational period in Malaya and Singapore incited the spirit of nationalism among the Malay women that they began to participate in more socio-economic activities. Eventually, a group of educated Malay female leaders began to rise and participated in the efforts of demanding the independence of Malaya and Singapore. This study mainly examines the Educational Report of the Straits Settlements, the Federated Malay States, and the Unfederated Malay States, which stated the number of female schools established and the number of female enrolments to schools. The research continues by studying the writings of the Islamic Reformist and the female teachers' union such as the magazine Al-Ikhwan and Bulan Melayu and the novel entitled Hikayat Faridah Hanum. Following that, the study also examines the memoirs of Malay female leaders such as Aishah Ghani, Shamsiah Fakeh and Khatijah Sidek on their struggle for independence. This study highlights the importance of education in rising the spirit of nationalism among Malay women shown through their participation in the women's wing political organizations such as Angkatan Wanita Sedar and Pakatan Kaum Ibu. The development of female education significantly transformed the role and position of women in the Malay society and deeply instilled the spirit of nationalism among the Malay women. | ||
