Abstract: This study explores the integration of Sabah's local heritage into history education to foster global understanding among learners, aligning with contemporary educational goals of contextualized and inclusive curricula. Grounded in the premise that local history enhances student engagement and identity formation, the research examines how Sabah's cultural narratives, oral traditions, and historical resources can be embedded into formal history education. Using a synthesis of credible online scholarly sources, policy documents, and recent empirical studies, the study identifies current practices, challenges, and opportunities in Sabah's history education landscape. The findings suggest that incorporating localized content not only improves historical thinking skills but also bridges the gap between local identity and global awareness. This research contributes to the discourse on curriculum innovation by proposing a framework that situates Sabah's heritage within broader global contexts, making history education more relevant and meaningful. The study is particularly relevant for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to enhance culturally responsive pedagogy in Malaysia and beyond.
