  2. ICPE-5 2012 PRESENTATION OUTLINE • Introduction • Motivation for MyBrain15 programme • Doctorate Issues • Strategic Planning of MOHE • MyBrain15 Success Factor – research findings • Proposed Strategic Framework/Policy for Mybrain15 Implementation

  3. ICPE-5 2012 INTRODUCTION • In the new economy, financial capital is no longer at the forefront. The country’s competitiveness relies heavily on a critical resource – the human capital • 9MP aspire to increase the number of Malaysian doctorate degree holders to achieve world-class knowledge workers in Malaysia. • Top-class human capital is critical to drive the nation’s economic growth, trigger sustainable and highly competitive economic development and explore new areas of research that can sustain its competitive advantage over others; • The strategies aggressive of MYBRAIN15 - aim of 60,000 doctorate degree holders within 15 years

  4. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15

  5. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15... • Total doctorates • Malaysia’s total of 5,992 doctorates compared to Korea, which has the highest number of S&T doctorates of about 52,595 (ISI web knowledge, 2007)

  6. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15... 2. Patents • Each Malaysian doctorate generates only 0.0164 patent as compared to 0.43 of the Taiwan’s

  7. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15... 3. Publications • Ex: Each Singapore doctorate generates 1.437 publications compared to Malaysia’s 0.0166.

  8. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15... • Secondary School Output and Tertiary Education • only 32% of secondary school leavers in Malaysia enter tertiary education. • 81% in Korea, 73% in US, 70% in Finland and 48% in Japan, • Malaysia needs to increase the percentage of its school leavers who enter university.

  9. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15... • the percentage of doctoral to bachelor’s degree • Malaysia ranked 4.1% in getting its undergraduates to pursue doctoral degree programmes with a percentage of 30.2%.

  10. ICPE-5 2012 Motivation for MyBrain15... • R&D Expenditure • The national R&D input indicators lag behind comparable competitive nations, and are still below their target of 1.5% of GDP (GERD/GDP).

  11. ICPE-5 2012 PHD/DOCTORATE ISSUES • Admission to doctoral programme (e.g. length of time, selection process and supervisors acceptance criteria); • Research support, • Supervision quality, • Facilities and equipment availability; • Completion rate; • Financial Aid; • lack of career attractiveness or opportunity for career development for people with a doctorate; • relevant programmes; and • world-renowned professors Note: These are issues emerged in the findings of a case study conducted in one of the top Malaysian public HEIs

  12. ICPE-5 2012 Strategic Planning of the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) • Concern over potential shortages of doctorates to academia, Malaysia’s action plan to produce 60,000 doctorates within the next 15 years has led to the coining of the programme name MyBrain15. • Malaysian government, through MOHE, PSD, MARA and MOSTI, has supported Malaysians with funds and financial aid for postgraduate studies • The need for many more doctoral degree holders in Malaysia is evident that Malaysia is now moving towards knowledge-driven economy.

  13. ICPE-5 2012 mybrain15 • Malaysia’s targets for the short, intermediate and long terms

  14. ICPE-5 2012 Mybrain15…. • Target Setting for Admission, Enrolment and Output of Doctorates( • aggressive intervention will result in 60,000 doctorates in about 8 years at a CAGR of 41%, • medium intervention will result in the same number in about 15 years at a CAGR of 16%. )

  15. ICPE-5 2012 Mybrain15…. • The approach to develop MyBrain15 strategies, initiatives and implementation plan • Assess the factors attracting candidates and producing sufficient doctoral graduates; • MOHE, to propose to the Government, initiatives/plans/changes which are outside of its sphere of control (e.g. MOE, MOSTI, government research institutes and industry players). • Define the need for a doctoral-qualified (or equivalent) workforce; • study successful models adopted by other nations to enhance their research-based innovation system
