Niaga SPOTLIGHT: Tapping the ASEAN higher education market
ASEAN's higher education market is experiencing significant growth, driven by a youthful demographic and increasing international student mobility. As of 2022, the region's youth population (ages 15-34) stands at approximately 213 million, marking the largest cohort in ASEAN's history.
Niaga SPOTLIGHT focuses on tapping this Higher Education market and Malaysia's goal of attracting 250,000 international students by 2025, in this crucial year as ASEAN Chair - in order to develop skilled human capital for long-term sustainability and prosperity in a rapidly evolving and globalised economy.
