Malaysia is important exporter in world education
Malaysia’s role in global education, both as an importer and exporter, continued to grow last year. Malaysia had over 135,000 international students from 160 countries studying in its public and private higher education institutions, as well as international schools. The number of Malaysian students studying abroad was around 90,000, with about 30 percent sponsored by various government-linked agencies and corporations in 2014.
Malaysia had also succeeded in setting up 20 public universities, a host of tertiary colleges and hundreds of private institutes of higher education, including branch campuses of renowned world-class universities.
