The issue of quality education in higher learning institutions is timely and crucial due to the government’s aspiration to turn Malaysia into a centre of educational excellence in the Asian region. Quality education acts as an indicator of the institution’s ability to provide tertiary education to the society as well as an instrument for the nation’s economic growth. To date, numerous studies have been conducted to measure the quality of education in higher learning institutions in Malaysia. However, the task of identifying the challenges faced by these institutions in providing quality education and the critical success factors to address the challenges has largely been ignored by previous researchers. It is within this overall context that the study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process, with the aim of identifying and ranking the challenges and also their critical success factors.
