00:00Before I proceed with my answer, I would like to correct the term used by Mr. Sibu.
00:10In this question, there is a word used for brain drain, which is longkang otak.
00:20That is a too literal definition with permission.
00:29Actually, the term used by Deon Bahasa dan Pustaka is Hijrah Cendekawan.
00:38Although there is also a term for the migration of talents, but that is not accurate.
00:44Mr. Chairperson, and thank you to Mr. Sibu.
00:50Hijrah Cendekawan in the context of the education of the Public Service Department
00:56means the movement of graduates.
01:00Talents who choose to serve abroad after completing their education.
01:07So in the scope of this question,
01:09among the efforts to reduce the problem of Hijrah Cendekawan
01:14involving graduates of government talents working abroad,
01:18actually since 2016, the government has implemented a new model
01:24of education in the form of Penjaman Boleh Ubah or PBU,
01:29based on a place of service,
01:31so that this 4M education program can give a return of investment in the form of human capital to the country.
01:40While under the special program on the seal of Malaysia's education in the country,
01:44LSPM in 2024,
01:47it is required that the IPTS listed must be categorized as a competitive category
01:54under the National Institutes of Higher Education system introduction,
01:59i.e. SETARA 2022,
02:01and is listed in the QS World University Ranking in 2024.
02:11According to the overall situation or according to their respective fields,
02:15there is no reduction in the number of IPTS choices offered by JPE LPSM graduates in 2024.
02:29Subsequently, to answer the issue of the quality comparison between IPTA and IPTS,
02:35it is noted that overall, IPTA is in a higher category than IPTS.
02:42This is based on the QS World University Ranking in 2024,
02:48where the top five IPTs are Malay universities,
02:53followed by Universities of Science Malaysia, University of Putra Malaysia,
02:57University of Nationality Malaysia, and University of Technology Malaysia.
03:01The top five are universities in the IPTA category.
03:06And then there is the IPTS, Taylor College.
03:10Despite our efforts to maintain and ensure that the programs offered by IPTS are of high quality
03:18and always meet the needs of the time,
03:21the Ministry of Higher Education through the Malaysian Qualifications Agency, MQA,
03:25has developed a list of Malaysian qualifications, MQF,
03:29and a quality assurance document as a reference and guidance to develop high-quality programs.
03:36MQA will carry out quality assessments of IPTA programs for a period of three to five years
03:44so that the programs offered are relevant to the needs of the time of the employers and industry.
03:48That's all. Thank you.
