DEAN’S MESSAGE
It is my pleasure and honour to welcome all new students to the 2015/2016 Academic Year and thanks for making the
Faculty of Education, University of Malaya your preferred choice. This established Faculty has made its mark not only
nationally but also globally.
In line with the improvement in ranking of the University of Malaya in the international arena from year to year, the Faculty of
Education has also been able to raise its standards to become one of the top 100 education faculties in the world. This
success did not happen overnight but is based on years of toil by faculty members and students. Being 50 years of age, the
faculty has continued to perform, and has succeeded in producing about 20 000 outstanding graduates.
Our degree programmes not only provide students with sought after knowledge and skills, but also link theory to practice to
better prepare students for the workforce. To date, our graduates not only shine in the local industries but many are
successful in the international arena as well.
As much as we take pride in such successes, the Faculty understands it needs to consider the latest challenges faced by the
nation. Hence the Faculty has taken the appropriate steps to educate and acculturate our new graduates into becoming
thinking individuals who can contribute new ideas and capable of carrying out useful research at par with those from world
class universities, but perhaps surpass them.
To ensure sustained excellence, the university and faculty‟s mission and vision must be synchronised from every angle and
be supported by strong strategies directed at achieving our desired goals. Planning is done with utmost care so that future
generations can reap the fruits of success from the seeds we have sown.
Regards and all the best for your success.
