The country has recorded impressive economic growth over several decades, bolstering ambitions that it should make the transition from middle- to high-income by transforming to a knowledge (K) economy. Vision 2020, announced by then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, was to give substance to this plan. The need to make this transformation was driven home by a deceleration of this growth after the Asian Financial Crisis at the turn of the century followed by the Global Financial Crisis a decade later and has galvanized the country s leaders to action to bolster its human capital. TVET can play an important role in Malaysia s transformation to a knowledge economy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC EDUCATIONACCESS TO DATAACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATIONACCREDITATIONADVANCED SKILLSBASIC EDUCATIONBLUEPRINTBRAIN DRAINBULLETINCLASSROOMCOLLEGESCOMMUNITY COLLEGESCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPMENT EXPENDITUREDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT PLANSDISSEMINATIONEARLY CHILD CAREECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION AGENCIESEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION INSTITUTIONSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEMPLOYED GRADUATESEMPLOYMENTENROLMENT RATESEQUAL ACCESSFEMALE LABOR FORCEFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEMGLOBAL MARKETGOVERNMENT POLICIESGRADUATE UNEMPLOYMENTHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSHIGHER LEARNINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESIMMIGRANTSINCOME INEQUALITYINDIGENOUS PEOPLEINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL TRAININGINSTRUCTORSINTENSIVE INDUSTRIESINTERNSHIPSJOB CREATIONJOB LOSSESJOB MARKETJOB TRAININGKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR SUPPLYLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING ENVIRONMENTLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLIFELONG LEARNINGLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONMANDATESMATHEMATICSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ACCREDITATIONNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL EXAMINATIONSNATIONAL GOALSNATIONAL INTERESTNUMBER OF WORKERSOCCUPATIONAL SKILLSOCCUPATIONSPARTICIPATION OF FEMALESPARTICIPATION RATESPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY GOALSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLYTECHNICSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE COLLEGESPRIVATE EDUCATIONPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATIONPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTOR TRAININGPRIVATE TERTIARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE TERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE TRAININGPRIVATE TRAINING INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE UNIVERSITIESPROGRESSPROVIDERS OF EDUCATIONPROVISION OF EDUCATIONPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC AGENCIESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATIONPUBLIC PERCEPTIONSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SUPPORTPUBLIC TRAININGPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY LEARNINGQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY STANDARDSREADINGRESEARCHERSRESPECTRETRAININGRURAL AREASRURAL POVERTYSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL MEALSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL-LEAVERSSCIENCE STUDYSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL LEVELSECONDARY SCHOOLSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE TRAININGSKILL TRAININGSKILLED LABORSKILLED LABOR FORCESKILLED MANPOWERSKILLED WORKERSSKILLED WORKFORCESKILLS ACQUISITIONSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSPORTSSTRATEGIC PRIORITIESSTUDENT ASSESSMENTTEACHINGTECHNICAL INSTITUTESTECHNICAL KNOWLEDGETERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY LEVELTRAINEESTRAINING CENTRETRAINING FACILITIESTRAINING INSTITUTESTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING SCHEMESTRAINING SERVICESTUITIONTUITION FEESUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIONSUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY GRADUATESVOCATIONAL COLLEGESVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL INSTITUTESVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL SKILLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVULNERABILITYWORKERSYOUTH10.1596/20161
