Sultan
Idris Education University (Malay: University Pendidikan Sultan Idris; commonly
abbreviated as UPSI; Jawi: اونيۏرسيتي ڤنديديقن سلطان إدريس) is a public
university in the town of Tanjung Malim, Perak in Malaysia. First established
in 1922 as a teachers college, it is one of the oldest functioning institutions
of higher learning in Malaysia.
History:v
---------
The
first teacher training center in Malaya was originally located in Taiping and
was known as the Matang Teacher Training College. Opened in 1913, the house of
the Malay noble of Taiping, Ngah Ibrahim served as the first teacher training
college in Malaya until it was shifted to Tanjung Malim nine years later and
given the name of the Sultan of Perak at that time. The history of UPSI as we
know it today dates to 1922 when the university was then known as the Sultan
Idris Training College (SITC). It was set mooted by the then deputy director of
Malay schools, R.O. Winstedt as a training college for Malay teachers. Named
after the late Sultan Idris Murshidul Azam Shah, the 28th Sultan of Perak, the
college was opened on 29 November 1922 by the chief secretary of the Federated
Malay States, Sir George Maxwell.
The
initial instructional regime required students to complete a three-year course
of training where traditional skills and arithmetic were taught. With the
adoption of the Education Ordinance 1957 based on the recommendations of the
1956 Education Committee Report (better known as the Razak Report), the
training course was extended to five years and new subjects were introduced.
SITC also came to be officially known by its Malay name, Maktab Perguruan
Sultan Idris (English: Sultan Idris Teachers College) or MPSI.
In
1976, MPSI became co-educational with the admission of the first batch of 150
female students. In 1987, MPSI was upgraded and renamed Institut Perguruan
Sultan Idris (English: Sultan Idris Teachers Institute) or IPSI and new courses
were made available leading to a degree conferred by Universiti Pertanian
Malaysia (today known as Universiti Putra Malaysia).
IPSI
was upgraded to a full university bearing its current name on 1 May 1997 in
line with the plans by Malaysia to increase the number of graduate teachers in
primary and secondary schools.
