Malay name and its function
In Bahasa Malaysia , it was called Kementerian Pendidikan , and was in charge of all the education-related affairs.

The tertiary education was taken over by a new ministry, Ministry of Higher Education until May 2013 where Prime Minister Najib Razak announced the two ministries will be merged to form a single Ministry of Education. In 2015, the ministry was split again.
