Overseas? Overrated

This week we unpack the myth of overseas education. Why are Malaysians so obsessed with it? How did it gain its dangerously erroneous value? How can we rethink education differently given the realities Malaysian youths face. We're joined this week by Maryam Lee, Imran Rasid and Yana Rizal to help us explore the questions together.
