A PLAN to improve private higher education will be drawn up this year.

The joint effort between the Education Ministry and private higher education institutions (IPTS) will cover six areas including the harmonisation of the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 (Act 555) and Universities and University Colleges Act (AUKU) 1971, internationalisation, administration, sustainability, and innovation.
