5 Star for ACIC!! Congrats.

MyQUEST is an abbreviation for Malaysian Quality Evaluation System for Private

Colleges. The system was developed by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE)

Malaysia, as an instrument to evaluate the current performance of private

colleges in Malaysia in terms of students, programmes, graduates, resources and

governance. The evaluation of private colleges is necessary in order to push the

education level in Malaysia to a higher standard. It is also a direct contribution

to achieve the Key Results Area (KRA) that could drive the quality of education

industry in Malaysia.

What are the evaluation criteria?

All participated colleges are evaluated based on five main criteria, and each 

criterion carries different weights. The evaluation criteria are:

i. Students (10%)

ii. Resources (30%)

iii. Quality Management Systems (30%)

iv. Programmes Recognition (10%)

v. Graduates Recognition (20%)

The evaluation involved two phases. In the first, the private colleges are allowed 

to self evaluate by declaring their status and practices in the evaluation form 

that is web-based. These responses are actually answers to quality based 

indicators that will assign scores automatically and appropriately. The private 

colleges are able to determine their scores. The second phase involves an audit 

by a MOHE assigned audit involving the private college to obtain evidence 

for the declaration made in the first phase. Scores will be added or deducted 

accordingly with reference to the availability to unavailability to provide the 

evidence respectively.

CONGRATS ALMACREST!
