LONDON: Values, ethics and spirituality should be included in a country’s education system to counterbalance its more “secular” impact, says Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Speaking at the Education World Forum 2014, Muhyiddin said there was a need to embed ethics and spirituality to counter the oft-mentioned “education without a soul” dilemma.
