KUALA LUMPUR: Thanks to the series of Langkawi International Dialogue which started in 1995, African countries are increasingly recognising Malaysia as an education hub and a stepping stone to improving their academic credentials plus providing a much-needed international boost to their career.

In an interview at the university's campus in Puchong Jaya ahead of the Langkawi International Dialogue 2011 to be held in Putrajaya from June 18 to 21,

Binary University College has been actively participating in LID over the
past decade, promoting education and entrepreneurship among African countries to
help them move towards a middle-income nation, a prerequisite to lift their
economies out of the doldrums.
It was the LID which provided the all-important linkage between Malaysia and
Africa to pursue smart partnerships in areas such as education as well as trade
and investment when many other countries were not too keen to look to Africa, he
said, adding that this was why leaders should make it a point to attend LID 2011
to push the envelope to provide educational opportunities for their youths.
He said Binary University College played a crucial role in helping Malaysia
become an education hub by offering scholarships to international students to
study marketing, information and communications technology (ICT) and
entrepreneurship.
"The students will graduate with recognised degrees and are ISP (Industry
Specialist Professional) certified. This is what we can offer to the Africans.
"We can provide managers who know the industry, marketers who know the
industry, so they can go back and create such industries in their home country,"
he added.
Adaikalam said that by having many international students in the country,
they can learn from Malaysia's success and bring it back home.
However, the challenge was to pick the right and good students who were
really interested in pursuing their studies.
"We in Binary have been extremely careful. We have students from 43
countries. We are a no-nonsense player in education.
"If you want to achieve something, we would go the extra mile to help you as
we are genuine. We are really serious about what Malaysia has to do to emerge as
a preferred educational hub," he said. - Bernama
