Education nowadays has been shaped and geared towards responding to the demand from the industry and inevitably transformed them into economy-driven institutions. The focus to produce employable graduates has been put so much weightage that it changes the whole dynamics of teaching and learning. The indicator of a successful student seems to be only measured by employability without considering other aspects that make up a human. Hence, education has been drifted further and further from the philosophy of education which should strongly emphasize the balance between intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical of a person. At the same time, while neoliberalism does have a positive impact on the advancement of the economy, education seems to be affected negatively by it.<\/p>\n

Neoliberalism has introduced an economistic mechanism, mainstreaming the application of market-based value, deregulation, and commodification in the pretext of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of education delivery. This, in turn, had transformed the education system into a tool for economic mechanisms. This phenomenon has raised concerns among many academia since the education system now is all about ranking games, racing towards completing writing and publication just to be published in a highly reputable journal but with questionable real impact on society.<\/p>\n

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a paradigm change in university leadership towards humanizing the education system back to be grounded on a strong value system, as to how universities are supposed to be. In Malaysia, the higher education development blueprint has placed a very clear and significant emphasis on the value system. Unfortunately, along the implementation process, such value system is diluted by various pressure and requirements that the main stakeholders, the graduates, do not seem to inherit the value system intended to be inculcated in them. Therefore, there is a dire need to relook and refine the way the values are imparted and nurtured into the students throughout the process so that it will provide a new narrative with clear parameters and measures.<\/p>\n

In pushing for this agenda, the National Education Philosophy, enacted in 1988, can serve as the main reference to restore the spirit and principles at every level of education in Malaysia, from primary education to lifelong education programs. History shows that the evolution of universities has always been a continuous competition between building character with the right value system and equipping students with competencies and skills needed by the industries. The world has seen many universities striving to balance between the two responsibilities. Within the same context, one of the major challenges is to find the right approach in integrating science, technology, and humanities inputs into the curriculum structure and the whole education process. One of the manifestations of this struggle is how universities respond to the global call to act more responsively to the sustainable development agenda.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

AKEPT Talk: DOVE Series 2 \u201cHigher Education Post Covid-19: Synergies between Science, Technology, and Humanities\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

History shows that the evolution of universities has always been a continuous competition between building character with the right value system and equipping students with competencies and skills needed by the industries. The world has seen many universities striving to balance between the two responsibilities. Within the same context, one of the major challenges is to find the right approach in integrating science, technology, and humanities inputs into the curriculum structure and the whole education process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the manifestations of this struggle is how universities respond to the global call to act more responsively to the sustainable development agenda. COVID19 is a good wakeup call that portrays the lack of integration of science, technology, and humanities in curriculum today. The disruption in the education process because of the pandemic and the slow response from higher education illustrate the lack of preparation to put knowledge into actions. The advancement in Science and Technology should ultimately be designed to serve humanities and not vice versa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Therefore, this series aims to understand the synergies between science, technologies, and humanities in higher education and the importance of leadership roles in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AKEPT Talk Series 3: \u201cLeading Universities Towards Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Higher Education: Lessons from Covid-19\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

COVID-19 is a blessing in a way that it serves as an eye-opener to the unsustainable way we are currently living. Education institutions seem to be greatly affected by the pandemic as it causes disruptions to the usual learning process. While focus had been put on changing the learning method using an online platform, little had been concerned about the content of learning itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This pandemic has forced the higher education institutions to revisit the current curriculum set in place. The role of the Sustainable Development Goals is greatly heightened by the pandemic as a trajectory to shape the future through education for sustainable development (ESD). Indeed, to most, the coronavirus seems to be the \u201ctransformational\u201d agent in the way that it disrupts just about everything that humans are used to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moving forward amidst calamity, this series aims to focus on exposing university leaders to different practices of integrating sustainable development agenda into the university\u2019s performance, taking COVID-19 as a blessing in disguise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
