The standard of education among the Orang Asli people as an indigenous ethnic in Malaysia is still at a low level. The majority of the Orang Asli people receive formal education only at the primary level. However, there is a significant trend where the majority of students who completed their primary education will drop out from secondary school. Hence, only two percent have been successful in advancing their higher education in tertiary institutions. Such problems are commonly associated with several factors, including students’ attitudes, awareness among parents about education, local culture, school leadership, school environment, and problems related to the teaching and learning process..

Among the more settled and established Orang Asli communities, especially the Aboriginal Malay groups in the south, village leadership was structured collectively to ensure that the community’s interest prevailed. The norm was to delegate most decision-making pertaining to the adat(tradition and customs) and the security of the community to a council of (male) elders called the Lembaga Adat.

However, in most Orang Asli communities, there was traditionally no leadership structure of any sort. It was anathema to the subsistence egalitarianism that these communities practiced. These Orang Asli, while valuing their individual autonomy, never doubted the truthfulness of indigenous spirituality.
