SUBANG JAYA: Minister of Education II YB Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh launched the Global Strategy Strategic Plan together with Taylor’s University Summer School Program during the second annual cultural festival World Fest 2015.
Pro Vice-Chancellor of Global Engagement at Taylor’s University Professor Perry Hobson said, “The Global Strategic Plan is a formulation of hard work into internationalising Taylor’s University.
“We already got 2000 international students at Taylor’s from 84 countries but we also want to make sure that we are internationalizing every part of the university.”
Professor Hobson expressed his pleasure to have the minister joining in the signing and launching of the two initiatives.
Student Affairs Student Experience Senior Executive Mohammed Hussaini Abdullah said, “The launch of the Global Strategic Plan and framework is an important milestone for all current and future students pursuing their higher education at Taylor’s University.
“Being at an infancy stage, my personal hope is that the strategic plan will bring positive impact and also produce global citizens among the student population.”
The aforementioned summer school program will be kicking off this year August 2015.
With regards to World Fest 2015, Hussaini said the event was a major success which brought about a positive reflection upon Taylor's University.
Minister of Education II YB Dato Seri Idris Jusoh said, “Seeing student participation from other countries in Malaysia showcases a bonding that students have to get to know each other and understand one another much further.
“This is a place where students can mix together, allowing diversity to promote and enhance student experience while they are here,” the minister, who congratulated the students on the well done event, said.
International Student Council Internal Engagement Specialist Sudan Rai said, “World Fest allows students to showcase different cultures and learn a little more about these cultures than what we can find in text.
“However, I am not sure whether the launched initiative will improve the culture and diversity awareness at Taylor’s University, though we hope this is a new stepping stone into internationalising Taylor’s University.
