Education System of Malaysia

Education is the responsibility of the Government and it is committed to providing a sound education to all. The Malaysian education system encompasses education beginning from pre-school to university. Pre-tertiary education (pre-school to secondary education) is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education (MOE) while tertiary or higher education is the responsibility of the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). The vision of the Government is to make Malaysia a centre of educational excellence. [Source: Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education]

The Government provides more than 95 percent of primary and secondary education as well as about 60 percent of the tertiary education, with the private sector providing the balance.

The private education providers in Malaysia can be broadly grouped into 2 categories, depending on the levels of education offered, ranging from pre-school to tertiary education. These two categories of private institutions are: 1) Private Educational Institutions (PEIs) which provide education at preschool, primary and secondary levels. They comprise private schools and foreign system schools. 2) Private Higher Educational Institutions (PHEIs) which provide tertiary education leading to the awarding of certificate, diploma and degree qualifications.

According to The Star: As Malaysia marches towards becoming a knowledge-based and innovation nation, it is necessary to have a workforce that is able to work towards achieving that goal. Intel Malaysia managing director Atul Bhargava said, “If there is one thing I could tell Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, it is that the need to change the human capital (development in the country).” He said improvements were needed in the systems adopted by local universities and they should strive to become the world’s Top 100. They need to change the curriculum to be industry friendly and adopt newer methods of teaching. Only then can talent that can help the country in the innovation phase be created. “I have been advocating the need to do it either organically or hook up with institutes like MIT; make that quantum leap, emulate, so that people will know us,’’ he said.

Malaysia, English Education and Jobs

The Malaysian Employers Federation had lobbied strongly for English to be retained as the medium of instruction. “This is a setback for the efforts to enhance the command of English for the students,” said Shamsuddin Bardan, the federation’s executive director. While Mr. Shamsuddin welcomed the government’s decision to improve students’ English proficiency by increasing the number of English teachers, he maintained that poor English skills remained a major weakness in the local workforce. Mr. Chin said that English was the language used in Malaysia’s private sector. “A lot of Malaysian parents are very worried about the standard of English,” he said. “A lot of parents realize that for their children, without English they can’t survive, not in the private sector.”

Reuters reported: ““Malaysia has said recently that it wants to attract more high-value investment in areas like banking and finance, industries that are global and typically demand good English. A recent report from Morgan Stanley showed that Malaysia's tertiary enrolment and completion ratios were six and seven percentage points behind the average countries with a similar level of income per capita. That leaves it at a disadvantage as it seeks to tap into foreign investment which is increasingly using countries like China and Vietnam which have larger domestic markets and bigger reservoirs of cheap labour. Neighbouring Singapore split from becoming part of Malaysia and retained English as the primary language of education. The city state has emerged as one of the richest nations on earth with a per capita income of $51,649 in 2008 while Malaysia's is $14,225, based on 2008 data. [Source: Reuters, July 8, 2009]
