Malaysia

Education in Malaysia is largely based on the British education system. Primary and secondary school is compulsory and free for all Malaysians. Students are assessed through standardized tests and examinations throughout their schooling, with results determining which type of secondary school they will be admitted to. Malaysia also has a number of private schools, international schools, and religious schools available. Higher education is offered at universities, polytechnics, colleges of technology, community colleges, private institutions, foreign university branch campuses and more. Most higher education institutions offer courses in engineering, science and technology as well as business-related courses. In recent years there has been an increased focus on vocational training to help prepare students for the job market after graduation. Check educationvv for Malaysia Education and Training.
