Alongside the growth of Public of Higher Education Institutions, Private of Higher Education Institutions have also played a big role in offering tertiary education (post secondary) opportunities to the people. This has managed to reduce the Governments financial burden and the outflow of funds overseas. The role of Private of Higher Education Institutions began since 1950s with the setting up of several institutes, for example, Goon Institute, Stamford College and Maktab Kadir Adabi. This rapid growth continued and by June 2007 there were 521 Private of Higher Education Institutions, which 17 were given university status, 15 college universities, and 4 branch campuses of foreign universities, with the remaining as private colleges.
