Malasya: Student activism: Higher Education Minister challenged to walk the talk

Malasya/April 03, 2018/By: Haikal Jalil/ Source: http://www.thesundaily.my

The Higher Education Ministry should ensure that students would not face action from their universities if they decide to be involved in politics outside of campus.

Mahasiswa Pakatan Harapan chairman Na’im Brundage said such a guarantee must be given by the ministry if it was sincere in allowing students to participate in political campaigning in the upcoming 14th General Election.

He added that previous disciplinary action imposed by universities on students that were involved in anti-government rallies did not indicate that university students indeed had the right to be involved in politics.

«Taking action against them is a clear indication that students are still not free to involve actively in politics, even when such activities are done outside of campus.

«If (Higher Education Minister) Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh is serious about giving students the freedom to participate in politics, he should ensure that higher education institutions will not take any disciplinary action (against the students),» he said in a press conference at Wangsa Maju today.

Idris on Tuesday had stated that university students were free to join political campaigns outside the campus ahead of GE14.

Idris had said that unlike the time of previous leadership which restricted university students from getting involved, today’s students were free to engage in politics if they had a keen interest in doing so.

Na’im said the recent statement made by Idris was nothing more than sweet talk.

He also issued a debate challenge to Idris over the issue of student involvement in politics.

He said other officials from the Higher Education Ministry were also free to take up the challenge if Idris refuse to do so.

Malaysia has clear education roadmap; on track to achieve TN50: Mahdzir

Malaysia/ March 27, 2018/By THARANYA ARUMUGAM/Source: https://www.nst.com.my

Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid today took a swipe at critics who condemned the Malaysian education system and policies.

He said Malaysia has a clear and extensive education roadmap that serves as guideline to the ministry, schools, teachers and students.

«We are on the right track towards achieving the National Transformation 2050 (TN50) vision in propelling Malaysia into the world’s top 20 nations.

«The government prioritises quality education, hence the reason we have various frameworks and policies such as the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025, National Education Policy and English Language Roadmap 2015-2025.

«While there are many critics here (in Malaysia) condemning our education system and policies, we continue to strive to ensure our children receive quality education on par with the global standards.

«These critics fail to realise that Malaysia is on the right pathway. We also ensure all strata of society obtain equal education, such as continuing vernacular school system in the country,» he said at the SMK Kota Kemuning 2 groundbreaking ceremony in Kota Kemuning today.

Mahdzir cited Singapore and Indonesia as examples, where he said Singapore abolished vernacular schools and only developed English-medium schools, while Indonesia chose Bahasa Indonesia as its official language.

«But Malaysia as a multinational country continue to allocate funds to build more vernacular schools, catering to the needs of the people. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has also assured that this initiative will continue as long as Barisan Nasional remains the ruling government.

«The government allocated about RM50 million each for Chinese, Tamil, religious and missionary schools.

«But this has angered certain quarters saying that we should abolish vernacular schools to move forward.

«We are only finding ways to inculcate a sense of oneness among students to ensure unity remains in the community when they grow up. (Not to abolish vernacular schools).

«There is no need to involve politics in the education system. I am confident the people of Selangor can see the government’s efforts for themselves and make the right choices.

«Water is a necessity. How can you say it is a developed state if the people still suffer from water crisis? They (critics) should first address this before commenting about the education system.»

It was reported that as of March 31, 2016, there were 2,058 national schools, 578 Chinese vernacular schools, and 360 Tamil vernacular schools in Malaysia.

Based on an operational cost analysis, these schools need RM67,130.65 per student every year compared to RM5,321.84 annually per student in other schools.

Malaysia: Govt emphasises quality education to produce future leaders, says Zahid

Malaysia/February 13, 2018/Source: http://www.themalaymailonline.com

The government always emphasises quality education in the country’s education agenda to produce human capital with calibre in all aspects, said Deputy Prime Minister  Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said the government set aside huge allocation in its budget every year, whether for early education or higher education, to produce successful students to become future leaders of the country.

“Why do the government have to invest so much? It means the government has focus, in terms of human capital, the government wants to see Malaysia becomes a developed nation.

“God willing, by TN50, the government’s aim of 60 per cent of the work force to have diploma or first degree will be realised,” he said at a session with new students of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) here today.

Also present were Ahmad Zahid’s wife, Datin Seri Hamidah Khamis, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, UTHM vice-chancellor Prof Dr Wahid Razzaly and Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also Home Minister, said most of the leaders in the country were produced from the success of the well-formulated national education system.

He said there were quarters pointing fingers at the government saying that the country’s education system was wrong, when they should instead be looking at their own mistakes.

“Leaders should be moulded and not born. We are not born as leaders, but moulded into leaders because of the country’s good education,” he said.

He said the present students of higher institutions were fortunate because the government gave priority to physical and spiritual development to ensure success of the millennial group, hence enabling them to fill the employment market in the future.

Ahmad Zahid advised the UTHM students to fully utilise their opportunity to study at the university.

“The opportunity only comes once in a lifetime to balance the worldly and the hereafter to become a well-balanced citizen and an asset to the country, and not a liability,” he said.

The deputy prime minister also announced a RM2 million allocation for the development of UTHM campus at Tanjong Laboh here. — Bernama

Education Director-General Datuk Dr Amin Senin said the ministry had always prioritised students’ needs, and that was why the allocation for education aid goes up every year.

«People should understand that the ministry spends about RM8,000 yearly on a student by providing numerous aid to help them during their schooling sessions.

«Sometimes, the public do not know these things. The purpose of the Education Tour (Jelajah Pendidikan) is to explain to the people that there are no compromises when it comes to education,» he said.

Amin said the government, through the ministry has always been consistent in helping students in school.

«In fact, for this year, more than 5.2 million students benefitted from an allocation of RM2.9 billion in Selangor. We have allocated RM221.4 million involving three categories; General Aid RM133.5 million; Special Aid RM45.7 million, and One Off aid RM42.3 million.

«To compare, education expenses in Malaysia is twice the amount of education expenses in other Asean countries,» told reporters after officiating the tour at the Hulu Langat Education District office today.

Amin said the tour was a form of interaction between the ministry and the public.

«With the National Blue Ocean Strategy as its theme, the programme is aimed at providing explanations about the services and opportunities in the education system in the country.

«This programme showcases the ministry’s efforts in developing students to meet global challenges, where we have provided them with holistic assessments, quality teachers and administrators and also an access to various 21-century education routes,» he said.

More than 6,000 visitors attended the Education Tour at the Hulu Langat Education District office from Feb 10-11.

The tour will continue at five other locations which include Langkawi, Kedah from Feb 22-24; Pasir Puteh, Kelantan (March 8-10); Parit Buntar, Perak (March 30 – April 1); Temerloh, Pahang (April 13-15) and Tawau, Sabah (April 20-22).

Malaysia’s International Education by 2020 and Beyond

Malaysia/January 16, 2018/By: Kris Olds/ Source: http://www.insidehighered.com

Editor’s note: This guest entry has been kindly contributed by Professor Dato’ Dr Morshidi Sirat. Morshidi was the former Director-General of Higher Education Malaysia, and is now Director of the Commonwealth Tertiary Education Facility (CTEF) based at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang. Morshidi is also a Senior Research Fellow at the National Higher Education Research Institute (IPPTN), Universiti Sains Malaysia. Given Morshidi’s expertise and experience in higher education policy, he is often engaged in consultancy work on higher education policy in Malaysia, then Association of Southeast Asian Region (ASEAN) and the South Pacific Island States.

This entry is based on recent work in ASEAN and South Pacific Island States, specifically to address confusion between international education and the internationalisation of education in many emerging and developing higher education systems. In many systems, these terms are used interchangeably. This entry is an attempt to re-examine international education as a concept and a strategy for both international understanding and economic development as implemented in Malaysia. Arguably, lessons learnt should provide guidance for Malaysia’s international education beyond 2020, especially with respect to the manner in which Malaysia’s citizens “engage with others in this globalised and yet highly divisive world.” Kris Olds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Malaysia’s International Education by 2020 and Beyond:

Re-examining Concept, Targets and Outcome

Morshidi Sirat

Preamble

It is important to address international education in this era of globalisation and unsettling geopolitical issues, in particular on Malaysia’s response to preparing Malaysians for future global and regional scenarios. Anyone that studies international development dynamics from the ‘people perspective’ as opposed to the ‘economic and neo-liberalism perspective’ will almost immediately agree that we are in dire need of international and intercultural understanding as we try to deal with longstanding and more importantly, emerging geopolitical issues. As such, international education is not merely about the dynamics of flows in terms of the numbers of students, scholars, and/or programs between countries. More importantly, it is about qualitative impact, in particular about the content of international education and related programs. It must be emphasized that “in any educational program, of any educational system, for any educational process and under any educational material”, the aims and objectives of international education must be communicated in order to realise international understanding among nations (Juan Ignacio Martínez de Morentin de Goñi, 2004: 94).

With this as a preamble and context, we can then proceed to re-examine international education as a concept and as a strategy for both international understanding and economic development as implemented in Malaysia.

Introduction

With globalisation, many terms connected with the “international” are loosely defined and liberally adopted in policy circles particularly in the formulation of strategic planning directions on education and higher education. These policy documents and the people behind these policy documents are equally guilty of adopting terms and terminologies without proper definition, contextualisation and correct usage of these terms. Thus, in our attempt to trace and assess the progress of international education in Malaysia to-date it is important at the outset to provide a working definition of ‘international education’. But more importantly, it is pertinent for us to establish whether, at the time of target setting for the so-called international education in 2007 (for the National Higher Education Strategic Plan Phase 1), the Economic Transformation Plan (ETP)and in 2013 (in the case of the Malaysia Education Blueprint), did we conceptualise and operationalise the term ‘international education’ as it should be conceptualised and operationalised? Moving on from issues and questions which I have raised earlier, this entry will begin with a deliberation on the term ‘international education’, detailing the aims and objectives of international education. Subsequently, a working definition is adopted in order to assess where Malaysia is in terms of international education. Following that, the ‘international education’ element in the Malaysia Education Blueprint and the National Higher Education Strategic Plan (NHESP) will be highlighted and the implementation of international education rated. A statement of “where we are” and “where we should be heading” will be offered for further consideration and deliberation based on the Malaysia Education Blueprint, 2015-2025 (Higher Education).

What is International Education?

Admittedly, the term ‘international education’ has yet to acquire a single, consistent meaning. The reason for the uncertainty, confusion and disagreement lies partly in the many interpretations of the term ‘international education’. As James (2005:314) notes, further confusion arises because the word ‘international’ itself is equally ambiguous as not all things regarded as international are in essence international. To understand the meaning of international education, we need to explicate the term in terms of aims and objectives.

Epstein (1994: 918) describes ‘international education’ as fostering «an international orientation in knowledge and attitudes and, among other initiatives, brings together students, teachers, and scholars from different nations to learn about and from each other. In other words, “All educative efforts that aim at fostering an international orientation in knowledge and attitudes” (Huse´n and Postlethwaite, 1985: 260) and seek “to build bridges between countries” (McKenzie, 1998: 244) fit this idea of international education. Arum (1987) divides international education into three parts: (1) international studies (including all studies involving the teaching or research of foreign areas and their languages); (2) international educational exchange (involving American students and faculty studying, teaching, and doing research abroad and foreign faculty and students studying, teaching, and doing research in the United States); and (3) technical assistance (involving American faculty and staff working to develop institutions and human resources abroad, primarily in Third World countries).

The justification for international education can be approached from two directions: a ‘top-down’ approach considers addressing global and national needs, and a ‘bottom-up’ approach, that is the development of the individual. These approaches are not mutually exclusive (James, 2005: 315). Thomas (1996: 24), writing on the development of an International Education System, asserts that ‘education is uniquely placed to provide lasting solutions to the major problems facing world society’, problems which transcend political borders (Gellar, 1996).

The Mission and Aims of International Education

Belle-Isle (1986) states that the “mission of international education is to respond to the intellectual and emotional needs of the children of the world, bearing in mind the intellectual and cultural mobility not only of the individual but . . . most of all, of thought”.

The aims of international education are related to developing ‘international understanding’ for ‘global citizenship’, and the knowledge, attitudes and skills of ‘international-mindedness’ and ‘world-mindedness’ (Hayden and Thompson, 1995a, 1995b; Schwindt, 2003; YAIDA, 2007). Admittedly, none of the aims of modern ‘international education’ are exclusively international (James, 2005: 324). Therefore, and in a post-9/11 world, the term ‘internationalist’ may no longer be sufficient to describe the values espoused by the movement; it might be time to transcend ideas based on nation-states (Sarup, 1996; in Gunesch, 2004). Gunesch (2004) proposes ‘cosmopolitanism’ as an alternative name for the outcome intended of ‘international education’ (Mattern, 1991). While the aims of international education are laudable, it is misleading to relate them to internationalism, for they extend beyond differences in nationality (James, 2005: 323). Peterson (1987) asserts that international education seeks instead to produce what might be termed ‘cosmopolitan locals’, who have a national identity, understand others better, seek to co-operate and have friends across frontiers. That cosmopolitan is “familiar with many different countries and cultures” and “free from national prejudices”. OED (2004) indicates the potential limitations of the cosmopolitanism, in associating prejudices with nations. But, it is preferable as a term to ‘international’ in the sense that it does transcend purely nation-based associations.

Towards a Working Definition

Any working definition for international education should appropriately address the issue of “global interconnectedness that characterizes the contemporary world, and point to a form of international understanding required by the citizen of the future that must comprise some understanding of the world perceived as a whole.”

UNESCO experts have developed conceptual approaches to international education that resulted in an operational definition being adopted by UNESCO (1974). I must emphasize here that we are more interested in a working definition and not an academic definition. UNESCO’s effort may be considered as the only large-scale effort to provide a working definition of the term “international education” by a widely recognized international educational body. The definition, agreed at UNESCO General Conference level, combined the elements of international understanding, cooperation and peace with the range of focal points of international education under the overall rubric of “education for international understanding”. UNESCO (1974: 2) outlines the following relevant educational objectives for international education:

  • a curriculum with a global perspective
  • understanding and respect for other peoples and cultures
  • human rights and obligations
  • communication skills
  • awareness of human interdependence
  • necessity for international solidarity
  • engagement by the individual in the local, national and global scale

Malaysia’s International Education

At this juncture, let us pose some pertinent questions: To what extent is international education important in the educational process and the education system in Malaysia? Personally, I like to think it should be important as “There is nothing that is more effective than having nations-states and people break down barriers between themselves.” In fact, in this highly globalised and inter-connected world it is imperative that we understand other cultures, languages, institutions, and traditions. More so, in today’s globalized world, Malaysian students and in fact students of ASEAN need more international experience. For Malaysia, foreign students enrich our campuses and our culture, and they return home with new ideas and ways to strengthen the relationship between countries. But interestingly, since the early 1990s, the market place and international education have become intertwined and international education has and continues to be seen as an engine for growth (see http://www.nxtbook.com/naylor/IIEB/IIEB0114/index.php – /38). Let us not mention the contribution of international students to the Malaysia economy at this juncture as I want to focus on aspects or issues that are beyond the monetary in this entry. That is, I want to focus on to what extent Malaysia has been successful in leveraging international education as a vital part of 21st century diplomacy. Admittedly, we send undergraduates, graduate students, administrators, faculty, and researchers on short and long-term programs abroad but what is more important and pertinent question to ask is: what are the impacts of our programs on students and scholars from abroad in Malaysian education system? Another question that beg some answers: Malaysia education institutions are implementing internationalisation-related activities such as international student mobility, but are these institutions themselves internationalised in its leadership, governance and management arrangement, curriculum content and pedagogy?

The National Higher Education Strategic Plan, 2020 (NHESP), while adopting UNESCO’s operational definition for international education, could not be regarded as intending to progress the comprehensive aims and objectives of international education. This strategic planning document addresses the internationalisation of higher education and not international education. The NHESP fleetingly touched on the aims and objectives of international education by way of the benefits of international exposure and experience. For instance, while a “curriculum with a global perspective” is embedded in many courses offered by Malaysian universities, this is targeted at international student enrolment and recruitment or providing exposure to local students with limited global citizenship or international understanding objective. At best, these are offered at the “exposure level”. Promoting the establishment of Malaysian branches of foreign universities in Malaysia is widely regarded by policy makers as one element of international education. However, the introduction of the Malaysia’s Global Reach component in phase two of the implementation of the NHESP, 2011-2015 is an attempt to insert amendment to what is incomplete from the perspective of international education. Malaysia’s Global Reach was introduced with international education for 21st century diplomacy in mind.

If we examined international education from more recent government documents, in particular the recently launched Malaysia Education Blueprint, 2013-2025it is stated that:

“…it is …imperative that Malaysia compares its education system

against international benchmarks. This is to ensure that

Malaysia is keeping pace with international educational

development.” (Ministry of Education, 2013: 3-5).

Our reading of this important document is that the emphasis is on “international educational development” and not “development in international education.” The international education element of the Blueprint is the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, which is designed to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (international education), are offered only in two Fully Residential Schools in Malaysia) (Ministry of Education, 2013:4-6).

At another level, the International Schools, which use international curriculum such as the British, American, Australian, Canadian, or International Baccalaureate programmes, sourced their teachers from abroad. In terms of enrolment, data as of 30 June 2011 shows that 18% of Malaysian students in private education options are enrolled in international schools nationwide (Ministry of Education, 2013:7-11).

With a very restricted notion or definition of international education, based on the NHESP and re-emphasized in the Malaysia Education Blueprint, 2013-2025, the Performance Management Delivery Unit, and Prime Minister’s Department (PEMANDU) subsequently identified prioritised segments of the education system to drive the economic growth of the nation, namely:

  • Basic Education (primary and secondary), with Entry Point Project (EPP) identifying the private sector as playing an important role in improving basic education in terms of the provision of international education, as well as in the training and upskilling of teachers.
  • Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), with EPP 12: Championing Malaysia’s International Education Brand aims to position Malaysia as a regional hub of choice in the global education network. This will include marketing vocational training to international students. This EPP’s goal is to transform a foreign student’s experience in Malaysia into one that is comparable to that in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Thus, targets are set as Gross National Income (GNI) by 2020 (mil) RM2, 787.7 and 152,672 -projected jobs by 2020.

The prioritised segments identified above complement the regional education hub, which is the thrust for the NHESP. For the Malaysia Education Blueprint, 2015-2025 (Higher Education), the notion of international education was not conceptualised in the context of achieving UNESCO’s aims and objectives of international education as opposed to internationalisation of higher education and its monetary aspect to the Malaysian economy. In this Blueprint, the shifts on “Holistic, Entrepreneurial and Balanced Graduates’ and ‘Global prominence’ are conceived primarily in terms of monetary return and institutional reputation. There is no direct and clear statement in the Malaysia Education Blueprint, 2015-2025 (Higher Education), with respect to UNESCO (1974) guidelines on international education and the outcome for the students in a highly interconnected but at the same time highly divisive world. What can we improve upon in the next 15 years, is to present the idea of international education beyond the notion that international education is about “engine of growth for the national economy”. Arguably, we need to re-orientate our efforts towards international understanding, citizenship and (mutual rather than soft power) diplomacy (Knight, 2014).

Conclusion

The term international education has yet to acquire a single, consistent meaning. But the manner in which Malaysia interprets and uses this concept/term in the context of economic development need some reflection and re-examination. We may achieve the targets set for 2020 in terms of international student enrolment in our education system, but what about the real aims and objectives of international education, which is to realise international understanding among nations. We need to seriously examine whether the aims and objectives of international education are effectively embedded in Malaysia’s (i) educational program, (ii) educational system, (ii) educational process and (iv) educational material.” There is a need to reassess Malaysia’s commitment towards creating the goals of international mindedness and ‘international understanding’ beyond 2020 and in the context of the Transformasi Nasional 2050 or National Transformation 2050 (TN50). In the case of Malaysia, where economic development is of top priority, we need to seriously think in terms of the economic impetus for better intercultural understanding. Nothing much could move forward in the Malaysian context unless and until there are clear economic impetus for any initiatives coming out of the higher education institutions. We need to re-look at this economic premise if we are to emerge as a nation of ‘global prominence” with respect to the manner our citizen engage with others in this globalised and yet highly divisive world.
