Chapter 5 of the eleventh Malaysia plan, 2016-2020

The development of highly skilled human capital is essential to helping Malaysia make the shift towards higher-value and knowledge intensive activities which are the hallmarks of an advanced nation. Investments in human capital are also vital to the improvement of personal wellbeing due to its many socio-economic benefits. To that end, under the Eleventh Plan, the Government will improve the efficiency of the labour market to accelerate economic growth, enable industry-led TVET to meet industry demands, expand lifelong learning for continuous upskilling, and improve the quality of the education system for better student outcomes. This document highlights Malaysia’s strategy to accelerate human capital development.
