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?
This third webinar of the Social Market Perspective series by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Malaysia will bring together thought leaders in Malaysian higher education, and technical and vocational education and training (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.
