Who We Are

Akademi Kepimpinan Pendidikan Tinggi (AKEPT) was established in January 2008 under the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. Its aim is to enable top and middle managements of higher learning institutions to be exposed to a structured leadership development programme. In line with the tagline Shaping Minds, Buildings Leaders, AKEPT strives to design and provide initiatives on leadership development for leaders of higher learning institutions.

To date, AKEPT has continuously put an effort in its active role in shaping the higher education landscape in Malaysia; mainly on two key areas that are academic leadership and institutional leadership. The ultimate is to strengthen and support the holistic strategy of transforming higher education in Malaysia in order to realise the aspiration of Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education), which clearly states the need to develop current and future higher education leadership talent.
