A special thanks is also extended to the Minister of Higher Education, YB Dato’ Seri Idris bin Jusof, for presenting the keynote address and showing his support over the past several years. ASLI also extends its appreciation to sponsors of the 22nd Malaysian Education Summit, in particular our Strategic Partner, QI Group; Corporate Sponsor’s, Sunway University, APIIT Education Group, Kingsley EduGroup, and Taylor’s University; as well as the Summit’s associate sponsors, the British Council, Penang Medical College Malaysia, and International Graduate Insight Group. A special acknowledgement is conveyed to the National Association of Private Educational Institutions (NAPEI) and the Malaysian Association of Private Colleges and Universities for their partnership and on valuable support in the preparation for the summit. Most importantly, the 22nd Malaysian Education Summit would not have been successful without the support and participation of the summit’s attendees from diverse range of sectors and industries, whose presence has further enriched the level of insight pertaining the needs of education. Foreword The Malaysian Education Summit was designed to provide a platform for the discussion of pressing issues faced by the education sector and provide an opportunity to share new ideas and solutions. The summit brought together not only those involved in the education sector, but also from business, government, and civil society which are essential players needed to realise quality education. A recurring theme in many of ASLI’s events is that of the impending 4th Industrial Revolution or IR4.0 and how businesses and governments are reacting to these shocks. The education industry is not spared from these changes and similarly needs to adapt to the coming changes. Before one can respond to the shocks of IR4.0, one has to ask themselves if they are even prepared with the basic. It is evident that segments of Malaysian education have been struggling in recent times in the delivery of quality education. A common feedback received at various ASLI conferences are from employers of various industries who complained about the employability of local graduates. Despite the introduction of the two blueprints focused on education and higher education, is it evident that an emerging gap has emerged between policy and reality. Hence, there is an urgent need to review and perhaps even redesign our education ecosystem to one that that positive impact on students. It is for this reason the theme of the summit – Creating the Right Environment to Enable Quality Education, was derived. ASLI considers the Malaysian Education Summit not only one of its biggest conferences, but also one its most important events. The wholesomeness of education we provide is an investment for the future and is a primary factor determining the nation’s performance, dexterity, adaptability, innovativeness, and overall progressiveness. While education has become more accessible, there is still an urgent need to ensure that good quality education is available for every individual living in Malaysia and not something exclusive to those who can afford it. The Malaysian Education thus provides a common platform for the discussion of key issues and challenges experienced by Malaysian education. It also provides experts a platform to share the latest in education techniques, review issues in education policy, environmental factors, as well as allow participants to get answers, learn, and to highlight issues, as well as to network with parties of interest wanting to improve Malaysian education. This culminates in this report containing a complication of key discussions and findings of the summit, identified in this report which is hoped will provide policy makers and key players of the education industry to incorporate the solutions and ideas found to improve the quality of education. It is also hoped that these findings will led to further discussions which are highly necessary as it is impossible to cover all themes relating to education in the given time for the summit, to allow us to resolve other issues raised by speakers and participants of the summit. Ultimately, all stakeholders must continue to participate actively to continuously build upon and improve the quality of quality as we move towards not only the realisation of a robust education system, but also the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
