the latest university rankings are out: http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2009/results my past univ is on 34, my wife's on 17, my sister's at 20, my other sister's at 91 and my brother's at 320. thanks to the govt, we had the opportunity to study at these univ.
to say that these top universities are because of prestigious history contradicts with the national university of singapore which is at number 30. i am going to relate my wife's current experience - so far this is an isolated incident coz i have not verified whether the same is true for any other academic institutions. my wife is a former accountant. she is a graduate from the australian national university (top 17 ranking in the world). she has an australian certifed practicising accountant and a member of the malaysian institute of accountant. and 20 years experience in the industry. she has written 2 books on kerjaya sebagai pengurus kewangan and industri insurans over the past 5 years. when we moved to terengganu, she 'retired' from work. recently, out of boredom, she applied and secured a job as a part time tutor for accounting diploma students at uitm kuala terengganu campus. ok lah. but she was also informed that she was 'unqualified' to be a contract / permanent tutor as she did not have a masters. my point is if the university do not acknowledge an international industry professional certification, do you think they even care about what the industry requires ? what are the percentage of the academic staff that have at least 3 years experience in the industry ? what are the percentage that they have an industry professional certification ? the industry professional certificates that i know of requires a minimum of 3 years practical experience in a member firm (like for accountants, lawyers, engineers, doctors). for a masters. any fresh graduate can do it within 18 months. mujur we have private univ like aeu that do recognise the importance of industry leaders like red1. with respect to use of ms visual basic 6 and ms access mdb, i suggest any student who is required to learn those software to write to the mohe minister to inform on use of obsolete proprietary software. // i hate the dummies book. it breeds a culture of prejudice for treating your readers and end-users as dummies which is not right.
