HIGHER STUDIES AT MALAYSIA

In 2002 I was invited to co-author of an article on the state of private universities in Malaysia. It is the role of Dr. Mohd Jiwa co-author. Isa, who presented at the Conference of Education 2002 Sunway Convention Centre, Malaysia. It is argued that they (and are) too many private universities in Malaysia, with about 700 licenses. He warned that to rationalize the industry needs to survive. In the Ninth Malaysia Plan, said that in 2005 were 532 private schools in the country, but that can not be right for a check with the website of the Ministry of Higher Education question have found that only 322 "assets Institute Private Foundation higher education "(IPTS or Malay, hence the title of our article) on your list.

This list includes all categories of IPTS (there are three main categories: private, State University College, a private college with university status and locations of foreign universities). The new legal framework in Malaysia in 2004, covers only distance education programs and their operations if they were made by the state universities. He was unable to deal with distance education programs at universities abroad, and he was (still is - in August 2008) no general guidelines or precise definition of this type of learning and the delivery of education. My former employer, the owner and lead one of the major groups of education in Malaysia said, SEG International Bhd, a paper on distance learning from the perspective of providers of higher private development experience teaching others to submit.

One of my colleagues at that time was fast, write the promise of the then Secretary General of the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education and to send you this document. Well, say it could not deliver the goods, although he promised the head to finish the script (which was more than six weeks to do this) and got less than two weeks of being "the author, and exchange." Well, I have my work and presentation. Whatever the effect that my speech at the General and his 35 senior departmental officials in November 2004, remains to be seen. I must say that I work from scratch, had only to search the Internet to retrieve my data and work to my reputation by former partners based redo is not and was not sufficiently coherent to submit ideas or strong position for the sector to private universities in Malaysia.
