Recognition? Accreditation? What it means…

at least in Malaysia. Through out my time serving MPEC Universities as the Director of Studies, I came across many questions by students, parents & teachers alike in regards to, if it is recognised? Is it accredited?

From the point of view as an Academician, it is a very tricky question. As a rule of thumb, I will tell them facts such as, what is the purpose of accreditation and why it is important to them as ASEAN Students. MISSIB Professional & Educational Centre i.e. MPEC is the EDUCATION OFFICE for renowned Institutions in St. Petersburg, Moscow as well as Hungary in Central Europe. MPEC Universities has had 100% pass for the USMLE, and of course since Hungary joins the European Union, there has been no further requirement for accreditation, there are Hungarian Medical Doctors working in London Hospitals over weekends. Now, where does that put us?

It is also a very puzzling situation for European Universities to understand, after many years of traditional excellence, and producing Nobel Laureates, they have to be vetted, inspected by Malaysian Authorities, so as to ensure, these Institution are good enough for Malaysian bright, young, intellectual students. I leave it to the 'power that be' to decide and see things from the point of view of these EUROPEAN SCHOLARS. It is interesting to understand the logic (at least try to understand them), are Engineering Programmes in Russia recognised by Malaysia & other ASEAN Countries? Perhaps it is not even known by us, but again..didn't Malaysia sent its very first cosmonaut (I will keep to the Russian terminology) via training in Star City, Moscow? It is a very ironic situation, but again, are students sent to study Engineering there, or Malaysia send them somewhere else? I believe, the answer does not require rocket science knowledge. By the way, where was Sukhoi and MIG, invented?
