Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) 2nd Edition

The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) or the MEB (HE) (Ministry of Higher
Education, 2015) is formulated based on the vision and aspiration of the 11th Malaysia Development
Plan (2015 – 2020).
In 2017, a revision to the current Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) by the Malaysian
Qualifications Agency (MQA) was done in response to the call by Malaysians to make the framework
more responsive to better, higher quality and relevant post-secondary education. The MQF 2nd Edition
remains as an overarching framework for all qualifications from diverse sectors which is based on, and
maintains, the structure of the previous framework.
With the 11th Malaysian Development Plans (2015-2020), the scope of MQF refers to qualifications
types from two sectors, i.e., academic and Technical and Vocation Education and Training (TVET)
sectors. The Framework, a single and unifying framework of all qualifications in Malaysia, describes
the levels of learning, generic learning outcomes, level descriptors, credits and single qualification title
for each level to be applied in both academic and TVET type qualifications.
