Higher Education in Pakistan and Malaysia: A Comparative Analysis of their Education Policies in the Modern Era of Technology

Abstract

    The Government of Pakistan through the Ministry of Education (Now Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training) has formulated various Education Policies since 1970, all could not have achieved the target objectives due to poor governance, lack of budget, and a dearth of implementation of formulated policies. While Malaysia through the Ministry of Higher Education has successfully introduced NHEAP 2007-2010, NHESP 2011-2015 and MEBHE 2015-2025 to achieve the vision of making Malaysia an international hub for HE by 2020. To serve the mentioned purpose, five International University Campuses were established. The current study is conducted to compare Pakistan and Malaysian HE policies so to highlight the gaps/weaknesses of Pakistan HE policies and strategies adopted by Malaysian policymakers to form a better HE system. For the purpose qualitative approach was selected and contents of written documents were compared and analyzed, i.e., education policies & reports, research papers/scholarly articles, dissertations & books.
