Private edu crucial to nation’s progress


Congratulations: Prof Leong and Assoc Prof Dr Geetha with their awards.

EDUCATION is a necessity for the development and progress of any nation. Without a solid education sector, other industries will struggle with the lack of a quality knowledge capital and human resources, INTI International University academic Prof Dr Leong Wai Yie, who received the “Special Recognition – National Unity Award” (university category) at the recently concluded Private Education Excellence Awards 2022, said.

“While the private education sector may appear to be a lucrative business, its cost today is especially high with funding dependent on student enrolments and funds generated by academics through research grants and consultancy projects.
