The art of khat (Islamic Calligraphy) is a great heritage related to the writing of the Quran. The discovery of khat (Islamic Calligraphy) on artefacts such as tombstones shows khat has been long established in Malaya and the arrival period of Islam in Nusantara. Today, khat (Islamic Calligraphy) has developed within the Malaysian formal education system through curricula such as Islamic Education and Arabic Language subjects in Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM) schools and private educational institutions. KPM also shows commitment through strategic efforts by providing financial allocations for developing khat (Islamic Calligraphy) studies. However, reports state that the quality of khat (Islamic Calligraphy) among pupils is unsatisfactory in the official competition organized by the Islamic Education Division, Ministry of Education Malaysia, especially concerning the method of forming letters and words. In addition, there is a lack of skilled teachers in the art of khat (Islamic Calligraphy) and a lack of skilled teaching staff in Malaysian higher education institutions. Therefore, this article discusses the reality of khat (Islamic Calligraphy) studies in the Malaysian education system. This study aims to discuss the implementation of khat (Islamic Calligraphy) studies in the national curriculum, and the plan developed to achieve that goal. In addition, this study describes the reality in the education field, including the curriculum developed and the results of the program implementation carried out at the national level. The discussion of this article is expected to help educators and students improve khat (Islamic Calligraphy) studies in Islamic Education and other platforms systematically and efficiently.
