Once again, quantity over quality


Tiger thinks education is important. Tiger cubs are educated at a young age to be respectful to their elders, to spend their time productively and to eat fresh prey. Likewise, humans are educated as well, but Tiger sometimes can’t see any difference in the before and after.

So Tiger is not sure what is being taught in universities today. Especially since they are so many of them, 602 to be precise, including universities, university colleges, polytechnics and colleges. Shouldn’t the sheer number of higher education institutions ensure a highly educated society?

Shouldn’t humans be doing more to preserve the habitat of tigers, the most awesome animals to ever walk the earth? Shouldn’t reverse parking be outlawed in car parks to avoid jams?

Tiger believes that humans like taking intuitive leaps that have little to no basis in logic, reality or practicality.

For example, Malaysia may not have a single university in the Times Higher Education top 400 World University Rankings, but that is no obstacle to turning the nation into an education hub!

Clearly the way to becoming an education hub does not lie in providing top-quality education, but in providing as many higher education institutions in one place as possible.

Which is probably why most websites about studying in Malaysia like to tout the country’s “over 700 (not sure why they use this number, perhaps it sounds better than 600) private higher educational institutions’, rather than the ‘top-ranked higher educational institutions”.

There are plenty of the former and none of the latter.
