Overview:
Malaysia's tertiary, TVET and higher education system has been battered by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which has affected not just finances and student numbers but the very foundations of the mission, vision and values of the system.
Do Malaysian universities deliver on their core mission? What is that mission? Do students get a fulfilling experience that equips them for life or even the future of work? Are academics respected, well prepared and supported in their mission?
What alternative models are available and how can the Malaysian tertiary, TVET and higher education system be reformed to face the future?
This webinar by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Malaysia will bring together thought leaders in Malaysian higher education and TVET along with graduates who have recently experienced alternative systems to share their views on the future of work and education and the possibilities of reform.
(Registration is required. Zoom Meeting ID and passcode will be sent via email.)
