I WAS asked by Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) to look at higher education in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. I am not an educator. Perhaps they wanted a perspective of an “outsider” who is as passionate as anyone about education.
UTHM started as Institut Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn and later Kolej Universiti Tun Hussein Onn. It became a full-fledged university in 2007. UTHM is a new kid on the higher education block, but nevertheless it aspires to be the best. Like all other universities, the pandemic was a wake-up call for UTHM.
