The roles of School in Realization the National Philosophy of Education (FPK). School is the first place of main phase in realization of FPK. School plays a crucial role in providing a comfortable and harmonious environment, catering various activities and programmes. Roles of school management in emerging the intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and social (JERIS) aspect of student. First and foremost, the role of headmaster, can be considered as a head of the particular school.

The roles of school head is more multifarious that can made up of financial, office management, academic achievement, and mastering 3M in KBSR and 4M skills in KSSR, curriculum progress and communication with the society, teachers, parents and students as well as staff. In addition, headmaster also will responsible for students’ discipline and enforce the rule and regulation of the school.
Secondly, teacher’s role is to teach while the school head’s role is to match the teacher’s job or subjects that according to their abilities and expert on the particular subject. Based on their experiences and abilities, they can work more happily and comfortable as they are motivated in the field.

A teachers provides education for discipline, for knowledge, for character, for life, for growth, for personal fulfillment and aesthetic refinement. A teacher as social agent, The role of teacher as social agent is an important part of of the learning process. This is very closer as different individuals interact with a teacher and other students to widely varying degrees. The teacher plays a number of social roles in the teaching process. The teacher is often a motivator for pupils, encouraging of reproving them as appropriate. The approval of teachers can be a strong motivating factor especially for younger students. The teacher is also an arbiter of success, measuring and quantifying pupil’s efforts.

http://kheru2006.webs.com/national_philosophy_of_education.htm teachers role
The National curriculum of the school reflects the objective of National Philosophy of education (NPE).By implementing the curriculum effectively in schools, it can develop the students’ cognitive, affective and psychomotor (physical) with other potentials (JERIS) in students. By this the institutions can produce ‘ Model Insan’ as for the future generations.
To visualize the objective of National Philosophy of Education (NPE), I have carried out my task on interviewing headmaster and senior assistant at SJK(T)ST.THERESA CONVENT ,TAIPING,PERAK. It is a Tamil primary school. The headmaster’s name is Mr.Sivarathnam while the senior assistant is Mr. Amuthan. I had been informed that almost more than 10 activities would be carried out in their school. However, my interview with them was only about 5 activities that had carried out in their school such as Sports day, Independence month celebration, Teachers day, Co-curriculum activities and School Award day.
Firstly I had interview with the headmaster then followed by senior assistant by asking some questions on Sports Day activity that had done in their school. His first responsibility for the sport day activity is the formation of Sports Council . The aim of the Sports Council was to find students who are enthusiastic, active in extra curricular activities in school, committed, raise standards of students performance and excellent, develop the provision of sport activities and provide technical information and advice the related to sports, recreation and active lifestyle in every student. Headmaster said that definitely Sports day activity based on NPE. This is because, there are several objectives of having Sports day in the school. Firstly, students would have intelligent brain and healthy body. Thus, they will have a big opportunity to focus and concentrate in curriculum and excel in their academic studies. Besides that, students will develop their spirit in athletic competition which will support them to next level for instance, national level. Participating in sport activities also will provide reasonable leadership, develop their skills and gain experiences and knowledge about training and umpiring as well. In addition, encourage participation, learn basic skills and the rules of the games. Apart from that, people who are responsible and playing important role for this activity are manager, coach, headmaster and teachers. The duties of manager are support the coach, organize the equipment that needed for students’ team practice and also during the event, ensure the players know the location where they going to have their practice, day and time for their team practice during Sports day. In addition, manager should check for appropriate uniforms, numbers and time, provide positive models for teams and take equipment outside and set up playing fields. Secondly, the coach who are responsible in involving all players in practice and competition, be fair to all the players in the team, plan active practices, seek advices of teachers and discuss the ideas with the manager and captain. While, the headmaster responsible for the development and implementation of students’ programmes plan for the school sport for instance, choose the location and venues. Besides that, he should evaluate a number of factors in determining the level and type of supervision which needs to be provided during Sports Day such as identify any potential dangers at location that had chosen, numbers of students involved and the maturity of students. Whereas, teachers responsibilities are they should attain knowledge and skills which enable them to deliver a good message and equip students with appropriate instructions and techniques of the sport day. The most important is to ensure the students safety for example students who are injured not allowed them to play. Apart from that, there are some difficulties to manage the students for sports day preparation such as students do not have the interest in mascot activity because it was too hot in the field, they do not enough time to come for practice and training because they busy with their tuition classes, they give priority to the education and neglect the sports activities, they prefer their own time to attend the practice. Some students do not give cooperation among them and lending their hand to help their teachers and also showing negative emotions to the people around them. These problems were influenced by some parents. Parents seems to give less attention to sports activities , they want their children to excel only in academic achievement. These are some objection from parents because they tend to forget that all study and no play would affect the shaping of the children’s personality. So, to fulfill this, sports must be an inevitable part of the school curriculum. However, there were also students who actively participated in all the activities that had organized for example among 500 students, 27 girls participate in cheerleader dance, about 120 students participate in mascot activity according to the uniforms, 10 students at emergency section who are the St. John uniforms and almost 20 students helped teachers to distribute the food to the students and guests. The big benefit during sports day was there was a big amount of sponsor which sponsored by some political leaders approximately RM 125000 to the school based on the preparation and the participation of everyone during the sport day. Finally, the sports day had successfully done by everyone’s support and cooperation. The main supporters were the sport educators, coaches, association members, sponsors, students, parents, district officers and ex-students.
The next activity that had done in the school was Teacher’s Day. The headmaster said that Teacher’s day is a day that being celebrate all over the world.

A role of teacher in this earth is influencing and encouraging the children in their formative. In addition, teachers would sit in the classes by assume themselves as a student. This would build a great understanding between teachers and students. Although teachers are challenged by difficult socioeconomic situation, poor knowledge of environment, teachers still are guiding their students towards their learning goals. Next, all the teachers involved in all the activities that had organized. Every teacher enjoyed themselves happily and actively participated in some competitions. Even more than 30 teachers had won some lucky draws. Other than that, the advantages of having Teacher’s day are one opportunity to appreciate the teachers, make students realize the difficulties that faced by teachers to build a good generation, chance of think of the teachers although they are retired. Besides that, the students themselves had take part in some activities during Teachers’ Day. For example students prepared class dinner to all the teachers, students gave presents to their lovely teachers, they create their own poem and present in the event, and they took pictures with their teachers. Moreover, there were several Teachers’ day celebration ideas such as arranged some plays based on Teachers’ day theme, deliver songs, dance performances, invite teachers for a formal dinner at home or bring the teachers for a movie and this would make the interaction between a teacher and a student very well.

Moreover, students can perform their talents to high level, develop student’s self-esteem and team discipline.

Furthermore, students could play a leading role in charity work with their team and to facilitate the development of student’s behavior, attitude, spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical. The goals of this activity are to enable students to persist a goal of self-realization, nurture mutual support amongst parents and staff, to prepare students to challenge themselves within a supportive framework and finally to aid them to evolve a strong sense of responsibility and appreciation of the importance of service and community.

The last activity that had carried out in the school was School Award Day. School Award Day was held on 5th November which was on Monday at 3 o’clock 2012.

However, some problems that had faced were financial crisis to buy medals and trophy to the winners, teachers were too busy with their personal matters, fewer students were feasible for receiving the award, less sponsorship and others. On the other hand, there were also a number of impacts of having this event like headmaster had a tremendous opportunity to talk with partner, everyone got the chances to chat with their members of school community, chance to reflect on the practice of their school and dangling awards in front of parents were the best effective. Besides that, children are likely to become enthusiastic, life- long learner, engaging curriculum and caring community.
A teacher in classroom comprises into three classifications which are accomplished, expert and graduate.

The teacher will introduce interactive methods in her class and required them to step outside of their routines. Although teacher offered them an approach that focus on students activity which brings fun to classroom, at first many students prefer to stay on their own comfort zones.
