THE Malaysian higher education system must no longer be viewed as fragmented silos of universities, polytechnics and community colleges, but rather as a cohesive ecosystem with shared goals, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

He urged educators and society to shift their mindset and see all institutions – regardless of type – as part of a single, collaborative framework.
