OER are a worthwhile option to make education more accessible, affordable, shareable and reusable. The adoption, expansion and enculturation of OER with the aid of information and communication technology in Malaysian education will transform educational practices through the effective use of educational resources available with open licences. Several higher education institutions in Malaysia have joined the OER movement. However, there is not yet widespread understanding about OER and open licences due to the lack of specific guidelines. In Malaysia, the National eLearning Policy (DePAN 2.0) focuses on open courseware, and it is important to develop specific guidelines for the same. With the support of the Commonwealth of Learning, the Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia conducted this study and organised a national consultation to develop draft guidelines that may be adopted by the appropriate education ministries in Malaysia. Key highlights of the report include the following: • Open education and OER in Malaysia have been in practice for some time now, though institutional policy on OER is limited. • The Ministry of Education is responsible for educational content distribution at the school level, while textbooks at the higher education level are recommended by individual teachers or universities, and students have to buy these books to study. • Government expenditure on printed textbooks has risen by almost 60 per cent from 2009 (MYR 127 million) to 2015 (MYR 202 million). • Students spend about six per cent of the total cost of their education on textbooks, and parents spend 55 per cent of their income for the education of a child in Malaysia. • Studies of students’ average expenses show that overall, Malaysian students spend over MYR 234 million per year on textbooks. • Students have adequate access to digital tools, such as mobile phones and laptops. While they are not aware of OER, having access to tools enabling them to access digital resources is important. • Considering the potential of OER to improve the quality of teaching and learning, reduce the private cost of education, and increase access to lifelong learning opportunities, the national consultation of OER stakeholders recommended that detailed guidelines for OER be adopted by the education ministries in Malaysia. 6 CHAPTER 1: THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA 1.1 Overview of Malaysia’s Education System Malaysia is made up of two separate regions: the peninsula on the Asian continent, and Sabah and Sarawak, located on the island of Borneo. Malaysia has 13 states and three federal territories, the latter being the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, as well as Labuan and Putrajaya. The country has three major ethnic groups: Malay, Chinese and Indian. The mixed profile of the population is also reflected in the education system, evinced by both primary and secondary schools that provide instruction in Malay, Chinese and Tamil. Depending on the higher education institute, teaching and learning in tertiary education is conducted in English or Malay, with some institutions having Arabic as the second language (EP-Nuffic,
