The depreciation of the Ringgit has created challenges for Malaysian students seeking higher education abroad. Janice Yew from Heriot-Watt University Malaysia acknowledges the financial strain and advocates for flexible study pathways, allowing students to fortify their foundation locally before studying abroad.
Yew emphasizes the strategic approach to education, ensuring quality without compromising global exposure. Many universities, including Heriot-Watt, offer flexible pathways, allowing students to complete degrees in Malaysia or study part of it abroad.
Education abroad
She urges students seeking higher education to explore additional support from global universities, emphasizing that education is an investment in academic excellence, personal growth, and cultural exposure.
Yew clarifies, “Advocating for flexible study pathways doesn’t imply a retreat from international experiences. Instead, it promotes a strategic approach to education, ensuring that students don’t compromise the quality of their education with global exposure.
“This approach not only cultivates a responsible attitude toward education in uncertain times but also positions students to thrive in an interconnected world.”
