Keeping a tight leash on education.

Abstract
HIGHER education in Malaysia is certainly growing. This is evident with the establishment of more than 500
private institutions in the country. They offer a wide variety of programmes leading to diplomas and degrees.
All this was made possible with the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act (1996). This allowed private
higher education institutions to be established in a relatively liberal way.
This led to the introduction of a variety of programmes to attract more school leavers to pursue tertiary
education in view of the limited places in public universities.
