    Introduction

    The role of both the public and private Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) has been

    proven to be increasingly important and necessary to provide access to higher education in

    Malaysia as well as contributing towards realizing Malaysia as a world class education hub

    and a centre of excellence.

    In its bid to ensure those aspirations are fulfilled, the government had identified

    several initial strategic plans to work on. This 2007 National Higher Education Strategic Plan

    is focused on transforming Malaysian HEIs into world class institutions. The seven majorinitiatives or strategic plans include widening access and increasing equity, improving the

    quality of teaching and learning, enhancing research and innovation, strengthening HEIs,

    intensifying internationalization, enshrining lifelong learning and reinforcing the delivery

    systems of the Higher Education Minstry. The five critical outcomes of this plan include

    governance, leadership, academia, teaching and learning and research & development. In

    short, the real focus is the enhancement of the quality of the Malaysian human capital. Upon

    graduation, these students must possess first class mentality which Malaysia needs to

    remain relevant and competitive globally.

    In order to ensure the success of such aspirations, the government through the

    Malaysian Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) together with several other relevant Malaysian

    Ministries and Agencies must ensure only the predetermined criteria and standards

    complying HEIs qualify to establish and operate in Malaysia. Public Higher Education

    Institutions are set up with government assistance making it certain that the necessary and

    desirable criteria and standards are complied and practiced. Similarly, all efforts areundertaken to ensure Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) adhere and practice the

    predetermined necessary and desirable criteria and standards.

    In the case of establishing and operating PHEIs, registered companies have to apply

    or in some cases invited to establish by the Minister of Higher Education. Hence, all

    applicants are required to provide information for approval to the establishment, registration

    and operational of PHEIs as well as approval for changes, additional and renewal of existing

    practice and/or environment relating to PHEIs in order to reevaluate their capacity, capability

    and sustainability to comply with the conditions set by MOHE as well as it. In general, PHEIs

    are evaluated in terms of their capability to provide high quality higher education and provide

    appropriate and necessary student welfare services to local and international students.

    As of 31st December, 2009 there were 20 universities, 20 college universities, 5

    branch campuses and 373 colleges that were registered with the Private Higher Educational

    Institution Management Sector (PHEIMS). These PHEIs provided access to higher education

    to around 425, 757 students including 58,294 international students.

    The number of students applying to get into PHEIs has started to grow because of the

    availability of loans from several agencies like PTPTN that made it possible for students to

    pursue the career of their choice. In order to fulfill the different needs of students as well as

    market needs, the number of course of studies including critical courses also began to grow

    rapidly. As a result of such developments, more and more private companies are intending to

    invest in the private higher education sector.

    The Ministry of Higher Education is responsible to oversee the growth of PHEIs

    through Private Higher Educational Institutions Management Sector (PHEIMS). As the

    government is serious about achieving its objective of realizing Malaysia as an educational

    hub as well as a centre of excellence, it will not compromise with quality. In this matter,

    MOHE strives to monitor and regulate the growth of PHEIs with emphasis to approving

    PHEIs capable of providing quality higher education. In order to realize high quality highereducation services is enabled in PHEIs, MOHE has the Private Higher Education

    Institution Act 1996 (Act 555) and Regulations made there under to assist theachievement.

  • 7/30/2019 Guidebook IPTS

    To assist and complement the Act 555, application procedures are constantly being

    reviewed to be in line with the amendments made to the Act and Regulations. As a result of

    these developments, the guidelines, criteria and standards together with

    application process and procedures will change from time to time in order to regulate and

    manage the quality of PHEIs.

    Applications are necessary to ensure that the basic and minimum requirements are in

    place to guarantee the applying PHEI has the capability to deliver high quality higher

    education services. Applications are made necessary for several stages to ensure that the

    PHEIs are constantly aware, alert and consistently maintaining their quality services leading

    to the quality of PHEIs. These applications allow MOHE to evaluate PHEIs for approvals.

    MOHE is serious about approving and will not consider an application deemed not capable of

    delivering.

    This manual is prepared and attempts to provide guidance to applicants on how to get

    started to establish and register PHEIs, obtaining approvals to operate PHEIs as well as

    approval for addition, changes and renewal of existing practice and environment and details

    relating to PHEIs. However, at this point, the users of this guide are warned that the

    procedures listed in this guide were practiced at the time of its publication and might change

    from time to time. In such cases, we request that further updated information be obtained

    from the official MOHE website, www.mohe.gov.myor www.jpt.mohe.gov.my

    This manual intends to inform users that the guidelines provided here only include

    applications for approvals involving MOHE. There are several other agencies involved in the

    several stages of applications for approvals. Those agencies include Immigration Department

    of Malaysia, Malaysian Quality Assurance, Local Fire and Rescue Department, Local HealthDepartment, Local Council, State Immigration Department, Inland Revenue Board,

    Employees Provident Fund and Social Security Organisation (SSO).

    Stages of Approvals in Starting thePrivate Higher Education Institutions (PHEI) Business

    For the purpose of understanding the proses and procedures of approvals of

    applications in starting the Private Higher Educational Institutions (PHEI) business in

    Malaysia as determined by the Ministry of Higher Education, this manual intends to classify

    those applications for approvals into four stages.

    The first stage will include among others the application to establish a PHEI.

    Applications involve two categories, namely from companies that intends to establish a PHEI

    with the status of University/University College/Branch Campus of a foreign University (often

    referred as status of University) or a PHEI without the status of University/University

    College/Branch Campus of a foreign University (often referred as simply status of non

    University University in this Guidebook). Applications involving these two categories differ

    slightly with the status of University category having an initial additional requirement to obtain

    a letter of invitation from the Minister of Higher Education to establish a PHEI. Except for this

    requirement and for the purpose of this guidebook, a general PHEI term will be used to

    describe the proses and procedures involved in the different stages for both categories.

    The approval for the establishment of a PHEI will include a number of additional

    applications from other agencies as a prerequisite to support the application of establishing a

    PHEI. These approvals are necessary to ensure that the resulting established PHEI is well

    prepared and equipped with the necessary infrastructure, policies, practice and environment

    to provide quality higher education services by MOHE. The other agencies role is to ensure

    that the infrastructure is safe and the environment is conducive for teaching and learning aswell as clean.

    The second stage will include among others to register the established PHEI. A

    maximum duration of three years is given to a PHEI to register from the date of approval for

    the establishment. This duration is provided to allow the relevant PHEIs to prepare and equip

    themselves with the necessary resources including facilities to start operating the PHEI.

  • 7/30/2019 Guidebook IPTS

    12/77

    12

    Again, the emphasis on the ability of the PHEI to provide high quality higher education

    services is prioritized when considering approvals.

    The approval for the registeration of an established PHEI will require an additional

    approval of infrastructure and premise from local, fire and rescue and health authorities. This

    supporting approval is necessary as additional facilities and modification may have been

    made after establishment to prepare for the operation of providing the necessary services of

    teaching and learning including the approval of conducting study programs and teaching

    permits as well as the welfare of the students including student development.

    An operating PHEI will experience many challenges. Among them will include the

    demands by the stakeholders namely students, parents, society, community, industry, nation

    and even the international. In particular, the MOHE must ensure the quality of higher

    education services provided by the operating PHEIs are continuously relevant and high. In

    order to ensure them, validity of approvals has duration. This is to allow the MOHE to

    reevaluate the PHEI before allowing them to continue their services.

    Apart from this mandatory reevaluation, some operating PHEIs would have the

    capability to expand to meet new, additional and challenging demands. These PHEIs have

    to add additional infrastructure in either existing or new premises, add new shareholders for

    more capital, increase teacher intake, make preparations for intake of international students

    as well as make additional arrangements and allowance to meet the requirements. MOHE

    views such changes are necessary to maintain the quality of higher education services

    established and operated earlier. Furthermore, such changes may result in a number of non-

    compliance to standards, criteria and conditions set by the MOHE to ensure quality servicesthat have to be corrected. If these changes are allowed to be carried out freely without proper

    and appropriate intervention, there is a high possibility the quality of services of such PHEIs

    may be compromised. In order to prevent such outcomes, MOHE has made it compulsory to

    apply for approvals for changes to existing practice policy and environment.

  • 7/30/2019 Guidebook IPTS

    13/77

    13

    The third stage of approvals include additional applications during operations that is

    resulted from the expiry of existing approvals and the intention to change or add to existing

    practice, operation and environment. By far, this stage is the most difficult and complicated

    for MOHE to handle as operating PHEIs continue to ignore the consequences of not

    obtaining prior approvals to change, add and modify an existing practice, operation and

    environment.

    Providing higher education services has become increasingly challenging. The

    academic, employability and skills expectations from graduates are becoming more

    complicated, uncertain and demanding. Hence, PHEIs must produce graduates who are

    marketable and employable in order to be acknowledged, known and respected to be able to

    continuosly attract students. PHEIs must be highly competitive.

    However, in the world of education businesses, the inevitable still results. Some

    PHEIs are not able to handle the competition and are forced out. Some resort to unhealthy

    practices that results in non-compliance of the standards, criteria and conditions as well as

    go against the regulations that eventually will force the MOHE to shut them down.

    Hence, the fourth stage involves the closure of PHEIs that are either done

    voluntarily or are forced to do so by court or MOHE. Though closing down PHEIs is not a

    desirable practice by MOHE but in order to safeguard the quality of higher education

    providers, this stage is relevant and necessary for the sake of the students welfare and

    interest.
