The Ninth ASEAN Education Ministers

Meeting (May 2016, in Malaysia), in

conjunction with the Third ASEAN Plus

Three Education Ministers Meeting, and

the Third East Asia Summit of Education

Ministers hold a number of promises. With

the theme “Fostering ASEAN Community of

Learners: Empowering Lives through

Education,” these meetings distinctly

emphasized children and young people as the

collective stakeholders and focus of

cooperation in education in ASEAN and among

the Member States. The Ministers also

affirmed the important role of education in

promoting a better quality of life for children

and young people, and in providing them with

an opportunity to participate in and benefit

from the realization of a prosperous ASEAN

Community 2025. They highlighted the need

to deepen the scope of education partnership

among ASEAN Member States towards the

development of a more coordinated, cohesive

and coherent ASEAN position and contribution

to global education issues. The ASEAN Work

Plan on Education 2016-2020 which they

adopted hopes to unify all collaboration efforts

on education with ASEAN Dialogue Partners

and international organizations and other

entities that support ASEAN.

The ASEAN Work Plan on Education focuses on

eight areas:

ASEAN awareness through strengthening

Southeast Asian history and indigenous

knowledge

quality and access to basic education for all

especially the marginalized groups

i n fo rmat ion and communi cat ion

technologies in education

technical and vocational education and

training (TVET) and lifelong learning

Education for Sustainable Development

(ESD)

higher education development and quality

assurance mechanisms

university-industry partnership

capacity building for teachers and the

education community.

The International Association of

Universities (IAU) shares several of these

focus areas, notably the focus on indigenous

knowledge, quality, access and ESD among

others. The Association also applauds the

promotion of academic mobility and the

Ministers’ endorsement of the ASEAN

Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF)

Governance and Structure, and the plans to

institutionalize the AQRF processes on a

voluntary basis at the national and regional

levels. All these will help enhance quality,

credit transfer and student mobility, as well as

university collaboration and people-to-people

connectivity which are all crucial in realigning

the diverse education systems and

opportunities, as well as creating a more

coordinated, cohesive and coherent ASEAN.

The IAU is particularly pleased to note that the

Meeting approved the revised Charter of the

ASEAN University Network (AUN), better

aligned with the new developments in ASEAN.

The AUN and IAU have been collaborating as

partners in advancing the role of education

regionally and worldwide by building a

committed community of learners. Both

associations are aware of the importance of

the various networks and projects that exist in

the region, including: AUN Southeast Asia

Engineering Education Development Network

(AUN/SEED-Net), ASEAN-EU Cooperation on

Education: EU Support to Higher Education in

ASEAN Region (SHARE), GIZ Regional

Cooperation Programme to Improve the

Training of TVET Personnel (RECOTVET),

Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Initiative, and

Connecting the Mekong through Education and

Training (COMET).

With this inaugural publication which attempts

to provide as much information as possible

about the higher education systems and

institutions in the ASEAN region in a

comprehensive and reliable manner, IAU

hopes to help facilitate deeper education

cooperation on the basis of accurate data.

It is significant and timely to celebrate 2016

as the first year since ASEAN became a

Community, and concomitantly the first year

for the implementation of the ASEAN Vision

2025. We congratulate the emerging ASEAN

Community, in particular the education sector,

and thank all partners and universities for

making this unique and historic publication

possible.

Best wishes and warm regards,

IAU’s Vision is:

To be the most representative and

influential global association of diverse

higher education institutions and their

organisations, promoting and advancing

the dynamic leadership role for higher

education in society.

IAU promotes collaboration among its Members

by articulating the fundamental values and

principles that underpin the pursuit,

dissemination and application of knowledge.

The Association advocates for higher education

policies that respect diverse perspectives and

promote social responsibility. It encourages

innovation, mutual learning and cooperation

among institutions.

IAU serves the needs of its Members in various

ways. It convenes truly global conferences,

meetings and seminars; acts as the voice and

advocator for higher education in international

settings (e.g. UNESCO, OECD, World Bank,

etc.); conducts research and publishes original

research through its quarterly journal Higher

Education Policy; provides information on

scholarly publications through the interactive

bibliographic database (HEDBIB) and

collects information on higher education

systems, institutions and qualifications (as

exemplified in this publication) to make it

available in the World Higher Education

Database (WHED). IAU engages in capacity

building through its twice-yearly professional

development programme “Leading Globally

Engaged Universities (LGEU) and offers

policy advice as part of the IAU programme for

advancing internationalization: ISAS 2.0

(Internationalization Strategies Advisory

Service).

As a global platform closely linked to UNESCO

and other UN agencies, IAU is deeply committed

to mobilizing higher education institutions to

play their full role in addressing sustainable

development and to be active in the new 2030

Development Agenda. The Association’s Portal

on Higher Education for Sustainable

Development (IAU-HESD.net) is a virtual

meeting place of experts and actors where they

can share information on their actions to realize

sustainable development through curriculum,

research and outreach.

Always staying on top of the most pressing

developments in higher education around the

world, IAU also undertakes other projects and

activities in line with its principles and values

and responding to the Members’ needs. Yet, as

regional integration and regional community

building takes on increased relevance, IAU also

focuses on the specific issues and interests of

various regions, bringing to the regional focus

the global perspectives and more than 60 years’

experience in the field.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN ASEAN

The IAU publishes Higher Education in

ASEAN on the occasion of its 15th General

Conference, taking place in Bangkok, Thailand,

in order to showcase the ASEAN institutions and

systems of higher educations. Under the broad

theme Higher Education: A catalyst for

innovative and sustainable societies, the

15th IAU General Conference will focus on

sharing strategies and practices that

demonstrate how higher education institutions

contribute to innovation and

sustainability. Equally important, the

Conference will determine what more HEIs can

do, especially through IAU, to become true

catalysts for change.

World Higher Education Database

Since the creation of the IAU in 1950, the

Association has acted as a global repository and

clearing house of information on higher

education worldwide. Starting more than six

decades ago with only a small booklet

containing information on the few universities

in the world, today IAU maintains the World

Higher Education Database (WHED) which

includes close to 18,000 higher education

institutions (HEIs).

The importance of knowledge in today’s society

and economy is clear from the exponential rise

in the number of HEIs around the world as well

as from the attention decision-makers pay to

reforms of the HE systems in an on-going effort

to make them more productive and effective.

Last but by no means least, for individuals, the

qualifications granted by HEIs have become an

essential key to success.

Alongside this expansion and these

transformations, technological progress has

revolutionized the way information about HE is

provided and accessed. This has brought both

positive and negative consequences. There is

no doubt, however, that nowadays reliable,

comprehensive and up-to-date information is of

utmost importance to many stakeholders.

The WHED, updated regularly in cooperation

with UNESCO, is a dynamic, fully searchable

online database which includes comparable

information on the structure of the higher

education systems, the degrees and

diplomas, and HE institutions that offer at

least a professional or a post-graduate degree

in each country. Though the IAU is not an

accrediting body, the WHED includes only those

HEIs that are recognized by the national

competent bodies (provided to IAU by such

competed bodies or found on their official

website).

Higher Education in ASEAN is based, to a

large extent, on data found in the WHED and

provides information on the ten countries that

form ASEAN: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia,

Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar,

Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

These nations differ in size, history, language

and tradition, yet they share a strong

commitment to education. There are 2,328

HEIs in ASEAN (May 2016) and while they are

by no means distributed evenly among the ten

nations, almost in all countries, the numbers

are on the rise.

The HE systems of the ASEAN Members are

also different, and in addition to listing all of the

HEIs in each country, Higher Education in

ASEAN uses the higher education credentials

offered to depict the learning paths in each

system.

Guide to this Publication

Country Overview

Each country description begins with important

key facts, followed by an overview about the

education and particularly higher education

(HE) system. The page includes a graph of the

credentials offered in the HE system; mentions

recent laws, decrees and strategic plans that

may have been adopted and lists the national

bodies responsible for HE.

List of Higher Education Institutions

(HEI)

The list of Higher Education Institutions (HEI)

includes all those found in the WHED (May,

2016). The WHED only includes officially rec-

ognised institutions that offers at least a 4

The Association of Southeast Asian

Nations, or ASEAN, was established on 8

August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the

signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok

Declaration) by Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines,

Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam

joined in 1984, Vietnam in 1995, Lao PDR and

Myanmar in 1997, and Cambodia in 1999,

creating what is today the ten Member States of

ASEAN.

As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims

and purposes of ASEAN are:

1. To accelerate the economic growth, social

progress and cultural development in the

region through joint endeavours in the spirit

of equality and partnership in order to

strengthen the foundation for a prosperous

and peaceful community of Southeast Asian

Nations;

2. To promote regional peace and stability

through abiding respect for justice and the

rule of law in the relationship among

countries of the region and adherence to the

principles of the United Nations Charter;

3. To promote active collaboration and mutual

assistance on matters of common interest in

the economic, social, cultural, technical,

scientific and administrative fields;

4. To provide assistance to each other in the

form of training and research facilities in the

educational, professional, technical and

administrative spheres;

5. To collaborate more effectively for the

greater utilisation of their agriculture and

industries, the expansion of their trade,

including the study of the problems of

international commodity trade, the

improvement of their transportation and

communications facilities and the raising of

the living standards of their peoples;

6. To promote Southeast Asian studies; and

7. To maintain close and beneficial cooperation

with existing international and regional

organisations with similar aims and

purposes, and explore all avenues for even

closer cooperation among themselves.

Organisations engaged in Higher Education in

ASEAN

During the 4th

ASEAN Summit

in 1992, ASEAN

leaders called

for the strengthening of the region through the

promotion of human resource development

and higher education. This aspiration has led

to the signing of the Charter of the ASEAN

University Network and thus the establishment

of ASEAN University Network (AUN) in

November 1995 with the AUN Secretariat

established in Bangkok, Thailand. Since its

establishment, AUN, the network of leading

universities, has been serving as ASEAN’s

implementing agency in the field of higher

education for the region’s move towards

ASEAN Community.

In terms of organisational structure, the

structure can be categorised into 3 levels.

Policy level consists of the AUN Board of

Trustees (AUN-BOT).

Implementing level consists of AUN

Member Universities who participate and

implement the programmes and activities

under AUN. Currently, AUN membership

has extended to 30 leading universities

throughout ASEAN and the ASEAN+3

University Network, which includes 10

universities from China, Japan and Korea,

was established in 2012.

Coordinating and monitoring level is

served by AUN Secretariat.

The functions of the AUN Secretariat also

cover planning, organising, coordinating,

monitoring and evaluating AUN

programmes and activities. The AUN

Secretariat’s tasks also include developing

ideas, innovations and proposal for

cooperation under AUN as well as to

develop plans and mechanisms for sourcing

and generating funds for self-reliant and

self-sustaining operation of AUN.

AUN works closely with ASEAN Secretariat

in reporting progress and proposing

initiatives for further intra-regional and

inter-regional cooperation in higher

education.

Brunei Darussalam is the smallest

ASEAN country in terms of population, with

only 417,400 people living in this small state.

The country is considered a high income (non-

OECD) country by the World Bank, ranked

second highest in the Human Development

Index in the region.

The education system is based on the

Education Act of 2003. The Ministry of

Education’s Strategic Plan 2012-2017 is

part of ‘Brunei Vision 2035’. It aims at

enhancing the structures of the education

system and therefore make the education

system in Brunei Darussalam one of the best

worldwide

Children enter the education system at the

age of 5 and stay at the pre-school level for

one year. Primary education lasts six years

and is divided into lower (Year 1 to Year 3) and

upper (Year 4 to Year 6) primary education. At

the end of Year 6, pupils sit for the Primary

School Assessment or Penilaian Sekolah

Rendah (PSR). In secondary education, the

majority of students will spend five years (four

years for highly capable students) before they

can take the Brunei-Cambridge General

Certificate of Education (GCE) O-level

examinations at the end of Year 10 or Year 11.

Upon completion of their secondary education,

students can proceed to the pre-university

level (Sixth Form Level), pursue vocational

education in a technical or an engineering

college, or seek employment.

To enter tertiary level education, students

must have completed 'A' level courses with

adequate and relevant passes. Tertiary

education is provided by universities, one

polytechnic, institutes, and colleges. It is

offered at both public and private institutions.

The higher education system is divided into

three levels, according to qualifications as

follows: Bachelor, Master and Doctorate. The

Brunei Darussalam National Accreditation

Council, a unit under the Ministry of Education,

is in charge of assessing the qualifications

awarded by local and overseas higher

education institutions/universities.

IAU Horizons

The quarterly journal of the

International Association of

Universities (IAU)

Higher Education Policy is an international

peer-reviewed journal, indexed in the

Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)®,

for advancing scholarly understanding of

the policy process (development,

implementation, impact and responses)

applied to higher education.

It does so through the publication of

original analyses: theoretical, empirical or

practice-based. Empirical or practice-

based contributions will be theoretically or

conceptually embedded. The focus of the

analysis ranges from case studies of

developments in individual institutions to

policy-making at system and supra-

national levels.

Cambodia was the last country to join

ASEAN in 1999. According to the World Bank it

is a Low Income country. Cambodia shares

boarders with Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam.

37 Higher Education Institutions can be found

in Cambodia, most of them in the capital

Phnom Penh. Cambodia is one of the least

developed countries in the world according to

the Human Development Index. It further

features only an enrolment ratio in tertiary

education of 16%, ranking on the second to

last place in ASEAN.

Primary education (1st Phumaseksar) lasts

for six years. Secondary education (2nd

Phumaseksar) is divided into two three-year

cycles: lower secondary and upper

secondary. Primary and lower-secondary

education are compulsory.

Higher education is the third level (3rd

Phumasekar) of education. It falls under the

responsibility of the Ministry of Education,

Youth and Sport. It is composed of two types

of institutions: universities and institutes that

can be public or private.

The Accreditation Committee was created to

develop the standards of education and to

assess higher education quality.

Teacher education is separated into lower and

upper secondary education. While teachers for

lower secondary education can receive training

at regional teacher training centres, teachers

for upper secondary education need a

bachelor’s degree first, after which they can go

to the National Institute of Education for a

diploma of education or upper secondary

school teacher.

Indonesia is not only the country with the

biggest population in ASEAN, but also the

fourth most populous country in the world

making it the country with the biggest Muslim

population. The country is spread out over

many diverse islands, with the capital Jakarta

on the main island Java.

Basic education in Indonesia consists of 9

years of compulsory education. Primary

education lasts for six years. Secondary

education is divided into junior, senior and

vocational/technical education. Junior

secondary school covers three years and is

part of the basic general education programme

also covering the six years of primary

education. Senior secondary school also

covers three years. There are several types

of secondary schools: general, Islamic and

vocational. In the third year of senior

secondary school, students choose between

Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and

Languages. Graduates of the senior

secondary schools obtain the Sekolah

Menengah Atas which is a prerequisite for

access to higher education (together with an

entrance exam).

Higher education is mainly offered at private

higher education institutions. It consists in

universities (comprehensive set of disciplines),

institutes (single field of discipline), academies

(Sciences and Humanities), and polytechnics

(Engineering). The latest two are vocational

institutions.

The higher education quality assurance

system comprises internal quality assurance

conducted by the higher education institution

and external quality assurance through

accreditation. The accreditation of higher

education institutions is conducted by the

National Accreditation Board for Higher

Education.

Myanmar. Only 6.6 million people are living in

Lao PDR, making it one of the least

populated countries in the region

compared to its size.

Primary education lasts for five years,

starts at 6 years of age and is compulsory.

Secondary education lasts for 7 years

and is divided into lower secondary and

upper secondary. At the end of lower

secondary school, pupils sit for the

Lower Secondary School Diploma and at

the end of upper secondary school they sit

for the Upper Secondary School Diploma.

Higher education is provided by

universities, technical and professional

institutes, and teacher training colleges.

Higher education institutions are managed

by the government. They fall under the

responsibility of the Ministry of Education

or, in the case of the University of Health

Sciences, the Ministry of Health.

All programmes offered at universities are

officially recognized and accredited by the

Ministry of Education. Credit transfers are

subject to direct agreement between

institutions.

Higher education plays a key role in achieving the 2030 Development Agenda and related

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Leaders of universities and other higher education

institutions, academic and administrative staff, students and other higher education stakeholders

are driving the processes towards a more sustainable present and future.

The Higher Education and Research for Sustainable Development (HESD) portal is a tool

developed by the International Association of Universities (IAU); it provides access to

actions and initiatives developed around the world. Make sure you are part of it!

@IDEAPhD www.idea-phd.net

Innovative Approaches to Doctoral Education in Africa is one of the action areas of IAU. Started

in 2009, the programme has now evolved into a networking platform about doctoral education in

Africa.

The portal connects universities across the African continent and beyond; it aims at providing a

basis for partnerships and exchange. But it does not stop here. It also brings researchers and

funders together and offers a unique way to connect everyone interested in doctoral education,

especially in Africa but also globally.

Resources range from the origins of PhD programmes, to supervision support, to funding

opportunities. Information provided is to assist leaders, academics, administrators, technical

support staff, students and researchers alike to easily find documentation and tools to increase

their capacity.

Malaysia consist of two parts, the smaller

one is home to its capital Kuala Lumpur, while

the bigger one is part of the Borneo. Malaysia

recently published its Education Blueprint,

aiming at changing and improving its

education system by 2025.

Primary education lasts for six years and is

compulsory. secondary education covers

five years, divided into two stages: lower and

upper. Upon completion of secondary

education, students can opt to pursue 2

years of post-secondary education which

is the university entrance preparatory course.

At the end of the pre-university course,

pupils take the Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia.

Higher education is provided by

universities, polytechnics, community

colleges and colleges. There are both public

and a wide variety of private higher

education institutions. The Ministry of

Education supervises the education policy in

the country.

The Malaysian Qualifications Agency

(MQA) is responsible for quality assurance of

higher education. MQA assures programmes

through two distinct processes: (1) Provisional

accreditation and (2) Accreditation: formal

recognition that the certificates, diplomas and

degrees awarded by the higher education

institution are in accordance with the set

standards.

Myanmar joined ASEAN 1997, one year

before the University Education law from 1973

was amended. Since then, Myanmar has

undergone many changes and is considered

having a low Human Developing Index rank of

148 out of 185, separating it by 127 places to

Singapore, who has the highest HDI in

ASEAN. Myanmar has further the lowest

gross enrolment ratio for tertiary education of

the whole ASEAN.

Primary education, the first stage of basic

education is, in principle, compulsory. It lasts

for five years. Secondary education is

divided into middle schools and high schools

and lasts for six years.

Higher education is provided by military

universities, universities and institutes. They

are all State institutions. Most of them are

under the control of the Ministry of Education.

They are independent units. Each university

has an academic and an administrative board.

National policies are established by the

Universities' Central Council and the Council of

University Academic Bodies which are chaired

by the Minister of Education. All institutions

are State-financed. A nominal fee is charged

for studies.

Myanmar offers a wide range of tertiary level

education, adapting the length of each

qualification to the needs of the subject. It

further offers many certificates who are less

time consuming.

The Philippines are home to the most Higher

Education Institutions in ASEAN. It is further the only

country not having any land boarders with one of the

other ASEAN countries. Due to colonial times, the

Higher Education System is influenced by the

Spanish, British and American system .

Starting from school year 2011-2012 (with full

implementation to be realized in 2017), the Philippines

is shifting from 10 years of primary and secondary

education to compulsory (and free of charge in public

schools) one year of Kindergarten + 12 years of basic

education composed of 6 years of primary education,

4 years of junior high school and 2 years of senior

high school.

Higher education is provided by public and private

universities and colleges. The State universities and

colleges (SUCs) on which charters have been

conferred are autonomous. In terms of enrolment, a

huge majority of students are enrolled in

private HEIs. The Commission on Higher

Education (CHED) created in 1994

oversees both private and public tertiary

schools; the Technical Education and Skills

Development. The CHED grants the authority to

operate and is in charge of the recognition of higher

education institutions' programmes. Quality assurance

is conducted through the Institutional Quality

Assurance through Monitoring and Evaluation

(IQuAME) and by one of the 4 accrediting agencies

under the umbrella of the Federation of Accrediting

Agency of the Philippines (FAAP).

Singapore is in size by far the smallest

ASEAN state, yet it has also the strongest

economic force, ranging on rank eleven in the

Human Development Index. Together with

Brunei Darussalam it is considered High

Income (nonOECD) by the World Bank.

Singapore’s Education system is worldwide

recognised and is considered one of the best,

due to its lifelong learning approach.

Primary education lasts for six years and is

compulsory. Secondary school pupils are

placed in the Special, Express, Normal

(Academic) or Normal (Technical) course

according to how they performed at the

Primary School-leaving Examination (PSLE).

Students who complete secondary

education may proceed to pre-university

education at the Junior Colleges/Centralised

Institutes or pursue studies at the ITE or the

Polytechnics. Pre-university education

prepares students for the GCE A-Level

examination at the end of the two-year Junior

College or three-year Centralised Institute

course.

Post-secondary education is provided by

three kinds of institutions: universities,

polytechnics, and the Institute of Technical

Education (ITE). There are three publicly-

funded universities and five polytechnics.

The Ministry of Education has put in place

distinctive quality assurance frameworks

(QAFs) for its autonomous Universities,

Polytechnics, Institute of Technical Education

and 2 publicly-funded private arts institutions.

The QAFs seek to encourage institutions’

continual self-learning, quality enhancement

and development, as well as to ensure

accountability for the use of public funds.

Each institution is validated every 5 years and

involves an institutional self-assessment, an

external validation by an external review

panel (comprising local and international

academics and industry leaders), and follow-

up initiatives by the institutions after the

external validation.

and shares a boarder with China. According to

the World Bank is Vietnam a Lower Middle

Income Country.

leading to the Certificate of Primary Education.

Secondary school education is divided into two

cycles: basic secondary and specialized

secondary school. Admission to upper

secondary school requires passing a

competitive entrance examination. There is

also technical and vocational secondary

education. Secondary technical schools

provide students with an intermediate level of

technical skills. Students are enrolled in

vocational training schools at two levels: at

the lower level, the duration of courses ranges

from less than a year to three years. At the

upper secondary level, three to four-year

courses are offered. Upon graduation, students

obtain a diploma. At the end of secondary

education, pupils sit for the Bang Tot Nghiep

Pho Thong examination administered by the

MoET. They then have to pass an entrance

examination to know where they will be

enrolled.

Vietnam is the only country in ASEAN

having two different systems leading to a

Bachelor degree: the longer and also to

further leading Dai Hoc and the Cao

Dang. Higher education is provided by

universities and undergraduate schools. It

is offered at both public and private

institutions. All secondary and higher

institutions come under the supervision of the

Ministry of Education and Training (MoET),

with the exception of the 2 national

universities, which come under the supervision

of the Prime Minister and regional

undergraduate schools, which come under the

supervision of the provincial authorities.
