Malaysia's largest online student enrolment platform Uni Enrol has entered into a strategic investment partnership with Global Education Alliance (GEA), a leading global education group on June 23 to strengthen its position as a regional hub for higher education access. The signing ceremony, held in Kuala Lumpur, was officiated by Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament and Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil and marks a significant milestone in advancing Malaysia's role as a premier study destination for students across the Asia Pacific and beyond. This partnership will expand Uni Enrol's platform capabilities to support both Malaysian and international students in exploring higher education opportunities, whether for full-degree programmes in Malaysia or transnational pathways to top study destinations like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland or others. Uni Enrol co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) Rickson Khaw said, 'This partnership enables us to bring Malaysian institutions to the global stage and make world-class education more accessible and transparent. 'It's not just about reach – it's about creating real pathways, powered by data and digital infrastructure, that meet students where they are.' Global Education Alliance CEO Freeman Yeung highlighted the importance of this collaboration, 'At the Global Education Alliance, our mission is to bridge opportunities and open doors for students worldwide. This partnership with Uni Enrol provides a unique gateway for students to access world-class education at a fraction of the cost. 'Malaysia offers an ideal blend of affordability, high-quality education and cultural richness. Together, we aim to create transformative experiences for students while contributing to the growth of Malaysia's education sector. We are excited to see how this collaboration shapes the future of global education.' The partnership will see all institutions within GEA's network integrated into Uni Enrol's online platform—building a seamless bridge between GEA's extensive offline recruitment presence and Uni Enrol's 24/7 online accessibility. This integration is expected to significantly improve conversion rates, speed of response, and service levels across the region. Importantly, this collaboration is expected to attract more inbound students to Malaysia, reinforcing the country's position as a leading global education destination. This aligns with the Malaysian government's goal to attract 250,000 international students by 2025, a vision that supports the creation of a more diverse and dynamic academic environment. The resulting increase in local and international talent will further enrich Malaysia's higher education landscape and contribute to a broader, highly skilled graduate pool that sees Malaysia as home, whether past or present. As part of the event, Uni Enrol also launched the Lembah Pantai Scholarship 2025, in collaboration with leading Malaysian private institutions. The initiative will award 17 full scholarships to SPM 2024 students from SMK and SMJK schools within the Lembah Pantai constituency. Eligible students include those from households earning below RM8,000 or who have represented their state or nation in sports. The event was attended by leaders from Malaysian and international institutions, government stakeholders, and regional education experts, all signalling strong support for the digital transformation of student mobility and Malaysia's growing role in global education.

Uni Enrol and Fairview International School partner to unlock purposeful higher education pathways
Uni Enrol, Malaysia's largest university enrolment platform, has partnered with Fairview International, a top-tier international school group renowned for its International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and commitment to substance over show. This collaboration deeply enriches the higher education journey for Fairview International's students by integrating Uni Enrol's advanced university matching system with Fairview's unique ASPIRE purpose development program, unlocking both local and international study opportunities that align with students' inherent strengths and life goals. Through this partnership, Fairview International's students gain access to Uni Enrol's powerful Pathway Match feature. This not only helps them explore higher-ranked universities based on their academic performance, interests, and career goals but also strategically aligns with the outcomes of Fairview's ASPIRE program, facilitating a smoother transition from discovered purpose into concrete action—all while maximising scholarship opportunities. This means students with IB Diploma and MYP qualifications can more readily access prestigious institutions they might not have considered, often within their planned budget, reinforcing a shared commitment to quality and value. 'We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams, and this partnership with Fairview International School enables us to extend that mission further. Our technology empowers students with accurate, real-time recommendations, helping them access the best universities and scholarships available,' said Rickson Khaw, Co founder and CEO of Uni Enrol. 'This partnership is an exciting step, directly aligning Uni Enrol's powerful pathway tools with our unique ASPIRE purpose development program, a cornerstone of how we prepare students for life. We are committed to helping students translate their discovered purpose into concrete higher education action,' said Dr. Evan Hui See Chin, Acting Principal, Fairview International School. 'This synergy, built on our shared belief in providing good quality education for every child and a joint commitment to substance over show, ensures our students find pathways that offer true value and fit. Uni Enrol's impressive ability to uncover scholarships and present responsible pathway options perfectly complements Fairview's ethos of delivering unbeatable IB value.' How Fairview International School Students Benefit from the Partnership: Extensive University Matches Aligned with Purpose: Uni Enrol's platform ensures students' profiles are reviewed for top-ranked universities, locally and overseas, that resonate with their ASPIRE-defined goals and future aspirations. More Scholarships, Reinforcing Value: Uni Enrol highlights eligible scholarships, making students aware of better-quality education choices within their budget, underscoring a shared commitment to responsible value over superficial show. Personalised Support for Purposeful Pathways: Students receive reports on all academic pathway options based on their eligibility, preferences, and the insights gained from their ASPIRE journey. Global Access to Substantive Opportunities: With Uni Enrol's university network, students can explore prestigious university pathways from Malaysia they may not have thought possible—such as in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, Canada, and Europe—focusing on institutions known for their educational substance. With this partnership, Uni Enrol and Fairview International School are set to transform the higher education advisory landscape in Malaysia. This collaboration champions a future where purposeful life preparation and substantive educational value guide every IBDP and MYP student's journey, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and aligned guidance needed to succeed—both in Malaysia and abroad.
