| Summary: | This paper addresses the contemporary development and reform challenges in tertiary
education in Malaysia in both national and global contexts. The critical role exercised
by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency in driving strategic change in higher education
cultures, both in public and private universities is described and analysed. The paper
examines the adoption, generation and institutionalisation of global standards of prac-
tice in teaching and learning and in other fundamental dimensions of the provision of
quality education. Contending ideas, rationales and models of universities and the con-
tributions this institution makes to educational provisions are examined. The analyses
are informed by the development reforms in other sectors of government and society
within the integrated framework of the nation’s strategic vision of development – Vision
2020. |
