“ To achieve higher educational reform, a transparent and informed dialogue needs to take place, bringing together educators, industry, government, prospective students, and other relevant stakeholders. The system must be customized to fit a country’s stage of development, political system, social structure, economic capacities, history, and culture.”

“ The government, policy makers and educational administrators must work together to provide an ideal framework that can properly guide the expansion and reform of higher education in a meaningful manner. To realise this goal, the regulators must evolve into becoming promoters and enablers with less of regulation and more of facilitation which can foster qualitative growth and orderly expansion.”

“ Higher education cannot rest on laurels of past reputation. Higher education has responsibilities to the public outside the institution-to prepare students for informed citizenship, to help address local needs through research and academic debate, and to ensure that faculty and institutional agendas address the needs of the public. Higher education cannot exist in a vacuum and still retain the public confidence to which it has grown accustomed. ”
