A country well known globally for the high quality of its education from the school system to higher education and with considerable experience in catering for student diversity is Australia. In Malaysia, as the system adjusts to student diversity, higher education institutions need to ensure the quality of the academic experience for all attending students, without undermining the integrity and rigour of academic standards.

This is an era fueled by technology, driving rapid changes to the world we live in. Technology is fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting economies, industries, and in our lives in general. The job market will change significantly with demand and would go beyond academic skills as the world sees advancement in technology. The impact on education and its curriculum is inevitable. Congtive skills will be less in demand with a balance in both academic and soft-skills becoming priority. Creative-based skills such as critical thinking and collaboration will be sought after. The importance of global exposure across different countries and cultures will continue to grow. International schools are starting to incorporate international mindedness as a key assessment for students deemed important for future job market. Here at Taylor’s, we provide the best of innovative teaching and learning methods to ensure that our students are future-ready. It is more than just education, it is a about providing a holistic learning experience. WHY AMERICAN DEGREE TRANSFER PROGRAMME AT TAYLOR’S?
