Abstract

National educational transformation is undoubtedly linked to national development policies, strategies and priorities. The challenges of Vision 2020 demand that Malaysians be able to rise to meet the global challenges of the 21st Century. The development of quality workforce and resource of highly qualified, innovative and creative human capital is based on the model of the ‘glocalized’ human capital development programmes. Not only that the strategy has become a top priority, but the task of creating such a workforce has to depend on several critical factors and challenges. The overall strategy is to ensure that there is a greater commitment and a more effective involvement of the government and the private sector in order to ensure the success of the government’s initiatives in the transformation process. The paper will address some of the critical issues and strategic approaches in the developmental process underpinned by the Malaysian education policy in building an educated, innovative and creative workforce as the basis of human capital development towards 2020.
