Teachers of the major ethnic origins in Malaysia - Malays, Chinese, and Indians - were selected randomly from 6 public high schools in the state of Kedah. The study found that teachers of all ethnic origins reported less favorable attitudes toward the NPAS, and that their cultural dimension had no bearing on attitudes toward the NPAS.
