And this depends on how well they perform in research activities.
He further said that in line with that, quality education is pertinent in the hope of seeing Muslim countries advance their R&D. He added that “A comprehensive guide such as the 2nd OIC Education Directory will in a way complement the efforts of Malaysia, among the countries listed, to be the choice of study destination offering sound education and affordable cost”.
