Education Ministry looking into over-regulation of private institutions
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 14 — Education Minister Maszlee Malik said today the ministry was working on the issue of over-regulation of private higher education institutions that had been going on for “far too long”.
In providing more quality education, he said, the most important enabler was increased autonomy and accountability of schools and institutions.
“The philosophy here is that schools, colleges, universities, districts and states would understand their own needs, strengths and weaknesses the best,” he said in his speech at the Open Dialogue on Malaysian Education organised by the Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute, here.
Also present was ASLI chairman Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah.
