Ways to improve higher education in Malaysia


WE read with great interest the letter “Call for action to transform the teaching profession” by Hamidi Mookkaiyah that appeared in The Star yesterday (online at bit.ly/4ijaSoJ). We agree with the recommendations proposed in the letter, and feel that such reforms should include the higher education sector as well.

The essential role of universities in human capital development and knowledge advancement faces numerous obstacles in Malaysia which reduce academic effectiveness and well-being and thus impact education quality and research output.
