Robust education system

Malaysia ’ s economic growth finds its cornerstone in a skilled and diverse workforce bolstered by a robust educational system . According to MIDA , the country hosts numerous public and private tertiary institutions , along with a vast network of technical and vocational education and training colleges ( TVET ).

Malaysians often speak multiple languages , with a high level of English proficiency , coupled with a minimum of 11 years of formal education among school leavers entering the workforce .

The quality of Malaysia ’ s labour force stands out in the region , thanks to consistent government efforts in human resource development across all sectors .

Noteworthy efforts by the government to shape industry-ready talent have earned Malaysia an improved position in the Global Talent Competitiveness Index 2022 ( GTCI 2022 ), a joint study by INSEAD University , Google , and Adecco . The country ’ s ranking rose to 45th among 133 countries , underlining its commitment to fostering a competitive and skilled workforce .

Enrollment in public higher education institutions surpasses 500,000 , with a notable increase in emphasis on science and technical disciplines .

With a significant labour force primarily composed of young individuals aged 25 to 29 years , accounting for nearly 18 per cent of the population , the demographic strength extends to those aged 30 to 34 and 35 to 39 years , making up 14.8 per cent and 13.7 per cent , respectively .

The private sector in Malaysia plays a substantial role in fortifying the educational landscape , complementing the government ’ s endeavours to nurture a more extensive body of professionals and semi-professionals . Numerous private colleges nationwide offer twinning degree programmes in collaboration with overseas higher learning institutions .

Collectively , these educational institutions contribute to a substantial pool of professionals with degrees and postgraduate qualifications .
