KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — The Higher Education Development Plan 2026-2035 is being drafted and is expected to be completed by year-end to replace the current blueprint, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir said.
“With the needs of a digital world and industry-based education, we need to prepare early and determine the direction of national higher education for the next 10 years.
“We need to look at how to make it adaptable from various aspects,” he told reporters after chairing an advisory committee meeting on the plan here today.
Zambry said his ministry is holding engagement sessions with stakeholders and target groups on the plan to ensure it will be comprehensive and inclusive.
At today’s meeting, he said a group of experts provided their views and presented a brief summary on strategies, needs and challenges that must be outlined in the plan.
He also said the public can contribute their ideas on the plan through a national survey currently being conducted by his ministry that can be accessed here.
