The Madani Government is working on a new policy blueprint for public higher education to replace the current plan that ends in 2025. What is the policy direction we should be taking to improve the higher education landscape for national progress? We discuss themes in higher education with Dr. Sharifah Munirah Alatas, an Independent Scholar and Chair of the Malaysian Academic Movement (GERAK), and Dr. Wan Chang Da, a Visiting Senior Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute
