TAN SRI Dr Anuwar Ali firmly believes that an educationist never retires and that education is lifelong learning. Hence, it came as no surprise that this former vice-chancellor (VC) was brought out of retirement and appointed Open University Malaysia's (OUM) president in January.
He brings with him a wealth of experience – he held various posts in the public and corporate sectors and was seconded to the Education Ministry in 1995 as the first deputy director-general of the then newly set up Higher Education Department.
