A 32-page executive summary of the existing blueprint can be found online. In short, the blueprint is organised around 10 thematic “shifts”, namely, holistic, entrepreneurial and balanced graduates, talent excellence, nation of lifelong learners, quality technical and vocational education and training graduates, financial sustainability, empowered governance, innovation ecosystem, global prominence, globalised online learning, and transformed higher education delivery.
At some universities, international students make up 20% to 30% of the student population, hence becoming an essential source of income for financial sustainability. Following the example of other countries that have been successful at attracting international students, new measures, such as allowing international students the opportunity to work in Malaysia after graduation, could be considered, particularly in industries where there is a national skills shortage.The MoHE Statistics Report 2021 indicates an unemployment rate of 19.7% for those graduating from private higher education institutions and 11.8% for those from public universities.
It is notable that Chinese President Xi Jinping recently encouraged China to establish its own measures and standards for a world-class university.It is also interesting that in the UK’s recently concluded Research Excellence Framework exercise, universities were asked to submit evidence not only about the quality of their research, but also the impact of their research beyond academia, documented in the form of case studies.
Unsurprisingly, there is a large concentration of higher education institutions in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, which reinforces the region’s status as the economic hub of the country not unlike how London is the hub of the UK.
