Having a perfect education is among the factors that contribute towards developing a happy life and one of the five indispensables protected in maqasid al-Shari’ah.

In Malaysia, the understanding on the importance of takaful is still lacking especially about the education takaful. Therefore, this research is to investigate the issues regarding the awareness of education takaful in Kuching, Sarawak. The objective of this study is to explore the awareness of education takaful among the citizens in Kuching, Sarawak towards education takaful. This qualitative study employed semi-structured online interviews with three takaful agents and eight parents who agreed to be interviewed. The results of this study indicated that the level of awareness of education takaful in Kuching, Sarawak is still considered low.
