Published by The Star on Sunday July 18, 2010Masterskill Education Group was recently awarded the ISO 9001: 2008 certification by Moody Certification Malaysia.
The certification was awarded to Masterskill University College of Health Sciences (MUCH) in Cheras and its three associate campuses in Perak, Kelantan and Sabah under the scope of “Provision of Nursing and Allied Health Educational and Training Programmes.”
Masterskill’s group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Edmund Santhara said that the company constantly puts emphasis on improving the quality of its courses.
“In tandem with our mission to be the centre of excellence in producing quality professional human capital, we have been steadfast in our objectives which are to achieve a minimum of 85% student passing rate and an 80% total student satisfaction in line with an 80% excellent rating of lecturers,” he said.
Moody International (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd Certification Governing Council chairman Datuk Dr M Mohinder Singh said in his speech, “While the growth in education opportunities have made it easier for everyone to go to a university or college, the question foremost in many minds is whether standards will be maintained.
“This is where the need for quality accreditation comes in.”
At a press conference after the ceremony, Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said that while it was good to get ISO certifications, the ministry would not make it compulsory for all higher education institutions to do so as they were autonomous bodies.
He also reminded Malaysians to not stereotype students based on the higher education institutions they attend, be it public or private.
“It is not right for people to label students based on the status of their higher education institutions, as they both have their pros and cons.”
He also suggested that the Malaysian Universities Sports Council (Masum) and Sports Council of Private Institutions (Masiswa) merge into one, as that would help to close the gap between the public and private institutions. — By ALYCIA LIM
