The Higher Education Ministry is drafting a new law to give it more powers to act against degree mills in the country.Under current higher education laws, the ministry could take action against errant education providers only if they were registered as a university or college, or have an operation in the country.
Under the Private Higher Education Institutions Act, all private education service providers operating on Malaysian soil were required to register with the ministry and get its approval before they could run any programmes, including online and distance learning programmes. If they are not registered as an educational in Malaysia the Institution do not have power to take any action against them. Details were still being finalised but the registry would likely be implemented by the end of the year.
