Doctoral programmes are particularly oriented towards natural sciences and engineering in France (59%) Canada (55%) and China (55%). Malaysia is still left behind in term of PhD graduates. We need to be more aggressive and should have a good feeder from schools. We need more into science streams. But Malaysia is still at below 30% students at schools in science streams. We are still busy with language, developing the curriculum, comparing with other states and visiting them to understand how they develop science culture, strengthen policies, etc including politicise it. When we will achieve our mission in science which is the core of the developed country.
