摘要

东甲（Tangkak）是马来西业柔佛州县市之一，原名礼让县（Ledang），升格前原是麻坡（Muar）副县。东甲共有71个甘榜（乡村），约莫十三万的人口及21所华文小学。随着时代的变迁与人口结构的改变，当地华小的发展状况亦有一定的变化。地方社会是华文小学主要经费来源，社会资本是支持华文教育的重要基础，故探究东甲华人社群的历史发展与现况的同时，深入了解学校与地方社会的复杂互动，尤其重要。本文以“文林望中华学校”为讨论对象，利用田野观察访谈及文献记录，解析当地华小的成立背景、学校行政的变化、地方社会的辅助，作为理解近世教育发展、地方社会变迁的观察点。

Tangkak is a sub-district of Muar before it was upgraded to a full-fledged district in the Johor state of Malaysia. The estimated population in Tangkak is about 133,000, comprising 56.3% Malays and 33% Chinese. Tangkak has approximately 71 villages and 21 Chinese primary schools. In Malaysia, Chinese education is sponsored and supported by the local Chinese community through fund raising. Therefore, any changes in the Chinese community will indirectly affect the financial sponsorship of the local Chinese schools. This paper will discuss the historical development and the current situation of the Tangkak Chinese community as well as their Chinese education system, taking SJK(C) Belemang, a local Chinese primary school as an example. Through interviews and written records, we will try to analyse and gain insight into its background, administration and funding and use them as yardsticks to evaluate future education development and social changes in the local community.
