mencapai sasaran 200,000 pelajar antarabangsa melanjutkan pelajaran di Malaysia pada 2020.
Jumlah penerimaan pelajar antarabangsa adalah selari dengan Indeks Prestasi Utama (IPU)
pengantarabangsaan Pendidikan Tinggi Malaysia. Universiti-universiti awam Malaysia
seperti Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), dan Universiti Islam Antarabangsa
Malaysia (UIAM) adalah tergolong dalam universiti-universiti terkemuka di Malaysia dan
penglibatan mereka dalam mencapai matlamat tersebut adalah tidak terkecuali. Peningkatan
jumlah pelajar antarabangsa sejak beberapa tahun yang lepas telah membawa perhatian
universiti-universiti untuk memikirkan bagaimana menampung dan mengekalkan jumlah
mereka. Usaha-usaha ini bagaimanapun bergantung kepada sejauh mana pelajar antarabangsa
teradaptasi dengan persekitaran Malaysia. Lebih banyak masalah adaptasi boleh memberi
kesan kepada pencapaian akademik dan ini boleh menyebabkan mereka membuat keputusan
berhenti daripada universiti atau diberhentikan.
