OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Higher education has become a vibrant business in Malaysia and it is of paramount importance to cultivate the creative and innovative intellectual human capitals that are needed for the future growth of the economy. Today, higher education is no longer the privilege of the wealthy few, but providing opportunities to all qualified students, both locally and internationally. The demand for education will rise as people or parents have higher aspirations for their childrens future. With the ever-growing demand for public higher education due to the democratisation of education, especially secondary education, public institutions faced serious challenges of operating within the constraints of their limited allocations given by the government. This had prompted the government to encourage private institutions to play a more active role in the higher education sector through various policy and regulatory amendments as well as in supporting these institutions to increase their capacity. As a result, these initiatives have strengthened and enhanced the private institutions role as higher education providers in Malaysia. The demand for private higher education in Malaysia will continue to rise due to rising population of high school leavers and rising costs of providing public higher education. In Malaysia, the private higher education institutions grew significantly. As of 31st October 2009, there were 20 private universities, 20 college universities, 5 branch campuses and 470 colleges in the country. This Guidebook will provide information for companies on how to comply and undergo the number of approvals involved in setting up private higher education institutions business. Generally, companies that wish to establish a private higher education institution such as university, college university or branch campus as well as college in Malaysia are required to submit appropriate application and obtain approval from the Ministry of Higher Education through the Private Higher Education Management Sector. It is hoped that this Guidebook will provide a comprehensive reference to the companies that are interested to start a new private higher education institution business in this country.
