Ministry’s name as Higher Education Ministry announced

Idris Jusoh has announced the name of the ministry he heads as the Higher Education Ministry.

In a statement today, he said the name coincided with the provision of the act related to higher education.

The cabinet reshuffle, which was announced by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak on July 28, involved the portfolio of Higher Education Ministry which had been revived.

In the reshuffle, Najib picked Idris to head the ministry and Mary Yap Kain Ching as his deputy.

The Higher Education Ministry portfolio was first created in 2008 during the era of prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

After the 13th general election, Najib combined the portfolio with the Education Ministry, and appointed former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin as education minister and Idris as second education minister.
