Keywords:
Chinese students, overseas study in Malaysia, higher educationAbstract
According to the statistics that are currently available, in recent years, as a consequence of the expansion of overseas study opportunities in Malaysia, the number of Chinese private college teachers who choose to pursue their education in Malaysia has been growing on an annual basis. This trend has been observed in response to the growing number of overseas study opportunities in Malaysia. The research may investigate the factors that are contributing to Malaysia's ever-increasing popularity in order to provide the educators with some useful references. The higher education industry in Malaysia is up against tremendous competition pressure on both the international level and the domestic level when it comes to attracting and hiring Chinese private college teacher. Identifying and understanding the key factors that influence the decision-making process of Chinese private college teacher when choosing HEIs is essential because it allows providers of higher education to strategically position themselves both for local and international level.
