RECOGNISING and acknowledging lifelong learning as one of the key pillars of talent development, the Higher Education Ministry has been pushing for flexi-education options to empower working adults to pursue further studies. Shift 3 of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) aims to enculture and create a “Nation of Lifelong Learners”.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said: “Flexible learning is a key focus of our nation’s education policy to raise the quality of our talent and produce a competent and employable workforce.” “We are working closely with higher education institutions to develop solutions for Malaysians to evolve and upskill to remain relevant in today’s competitive job economy,” he added.
