Introduction:
Malaysia, which achieved its independence in 1957, has undergone
incredible socio-economic changes that have brought about wealth
to its citizens. The growth and development of the Malaysian economy
can largely be attributed to the success of the Malaysian education
system which has seen literacy rate increases from 80 per cent for
men in 1980 to more than 90 per cent in 2000. Similar increase is
also observed in women, albeit slightly lower; from 62 per cent in
1980 to 82 per cent in 2000 (Aminah, 1998). The Malaysian higher
education system has also undergone great transfonnations in the last
five decades with, to date, a two-fold increase in the number of
government universities compared to before the turn of the century. |
