A University for the 21st Century – Graduates for the 21st Century

Abstract

The Open University Malaysia, 7th Convocation, 14 November 2009 (Return Speech on the occasion of the conferment of the Honorary Doctorate of Education) Sir John Daniel, President, Commonwealth of Learning // You do me a great honour and I am deeply grateful. To become an honorary doctor of the Open University Malaysia gives me great personal pleasure. During the 1990s, when I was Vice-Chancellor of the UK Open University, I came to Malaysia regularly and was involved in many of the discussions that preceded the establishment of the Open University Malaysia. I therefore feel a paternal interest – a proud paternal interest – in OUM.
