Abstract: Education is a continuous, comprehensive, and integrated effort aimed at developing a balanced and harmonious individual. This endeavour encompasses four key aspects: physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual well-being, with well-being as its core essence. Personal well-being is crucial in producing well-rounded individuals capable of contributing to their families, communities, and the nation. Consequently, education grounded in the Philosophy of Well-being, which integrates the National Education Philosophy and the Rukun Negara (the National Principles), is considered essential in nurturing individuals with a strong sense of responsibility and a high level of social awareness among today’s younger generation. Education based on the Philosophy of Well-being can clearly be seen, among other things, through the General Subjects (MPU), namely the Philosophy and Current Issues Course. This study aims to explore the concept of education based on the Philosophy of Well-being and to analyse the extent to which it can cultivate social responsibility among the youth. This qualitative study employs documentation as the data collection method and content analysis for data analysis. The findings reveal that education based on the Philosophy of Well-being plays a vital role in fostering social responsibility, first towards oneself and one’s family, and second towards the community and the nation.
