MyQuest: a ranking for Malaysian private colleges
MyQUEST (Malaysian Quality Evaluation System for Private Colleges) is a system developed by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) Malaysia, as an instrument to evaluate the current performance of private colleges in Malaysia in terms of students, programmes, graduates, resources and governance. The evaluations is necessary in order to push the education level in Malaysia to a higher standard. MyQUEST rating is an institutional rating of the private colleges, either overall or cluster. Five main criteria used in the assessment are students, resources, quality management system, programmes recognition and graduates recognition. MyQuest has one clear aim which is to provide guidance for students and parents in choosing the right programmes and colleges.
The exercise for data in 2010 was conducted between April 2011 and August 2011. All 400 active colleges in Malaysia were invited to participate with the exercise. By the deadline, 310 colleges have entered the online system. From 310 colleges, 232 colleges are qualified to be audited. After the auditing process finished in August 2011, the findings from the audit showed that only 210 colleges are qualified to be rated.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the purpose of MyQuest is to categorise the colleges which are excellent, good, or weak, and prepare suitable approaches to help the weaker ones with their issues and challenges.
Over 60% of private colleges have been ranked as satisfactory with a score of four stars and above according to the first MyQuest. Of all the colleges, only three institutions, Penang Medical College, Segi College Subang Jaya and Taylor's College Subang Jaya were awarded the maximum of six stars (distinction) and received scores of above 90%. Apart from the top three colleges, 20 colleges (9.5%) attained five stars (excellent), and 60 colleges (28.6%) attained four stars (very good), with the remaining 72 (34.3%) receiving three stars and below. They are 55 three-star (good), 35 two-star (satisfactory) and 37one-star (poor).
