THE Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) report titled OECD Reviews of Innovation Policy: Malaysia 2016, which was released recently, made rather scathing observations on the performance of our local public universities.

While the report admitted the fact that the number of university graduates and postgraduates has increased, it maintained that the overall quality was questionable. Meeting industry needs, for example, remains an area of concern.
