| Sumari: | IN his acceptance speech last year as the newlyappointed
Minister of Higher Education Datuk Seri Mohamed
Khalid Nordin pledged full support to implementing the National Strategic Plan for Higher Education launched by
his predecessor.
Admittedly, in his own words then, the task was a daunting one, given the complexity that surrounds higher
education, which prevails not only in Malaysia, but globally.
Even in developed countries where higher education has existed over centuries, the confronting issues are very
similar. The difference, perhaps, is that the issues are dealt with in a more sobering approach, involving
mostly academics and their fraternities.
