Overseas Education in Malaysia: Changes and Causes

Before the mid-1990s,a large number of Malaysian students went abroad to study,which was the feature of overseas education in Malaysia then.Yet,after the mid-1990s,the number of students going abroad dropped dramatically while foreign students in Malaysia increased rapidly.Thus,Malaysia changed from a sender to a receiver of overseas students.The main causes for such a change are as follows: the government set the goal of becoming an excellent regional education center and adopted a series of relevant measures;accesses to education have been increased;foreign universities are allowed to establish their branch campuses or cooperate with Malaysian universities;and the government actively promotes the development of Twinning Degree Programme,etc.Malaysia's experience has valuable implications for the development of foreign students' education in China.
