PETALING JAYA: The Higher Education Ministry’s no objection certificate (NOC) and clearance letter (CL) will be abolished. The NOC and CL, the ministry said, were used as a form of quality control for students who studied in higher education institutions overseas. “Students who wish to study abroad are advised to ensure the institutions of their interest and (whose) programmes are accredited,” it said in a statement Friday (July 24). Students are encouraged to review and obtain confirmation on the qualification recognition status, awarded by higher education providers, from authorities and quality assurance bodies of the respective countries. Students can also refer to www2.mqa.gov.my/esisraf/ to obtain a list of overseas certificates, diplomas and degrees that are recognised by the Malaysian government for application and appointment in the civil service, the ministry added.
