    Business World: Education for an Emerging Nation 11 November 2009
    World Business: They call it the middle income trap, emerging countries that struggle to take the next big step to becoming developed nations. Malaysia is keen to avoid that trap, and is looking to move up from low-end manufacturing into higher technology and services. One niche it's looking to carve for itself is as an international education hub. And it's aggressively pursuing foreign institutions and talent to try to achieve that goal.



    World Business can be seen on 14 broadcasters around the globe; CNBC across Europe and the United States, PBS across the United States, CNBC Asia across Asia, Al Arabiya across the Middle East, CNBC Africa across Africa, HRT1 in Croatia, TVN24 in Poland, TA3 in Slovakia, RTV Maribor in Slovenia, ManagemenTV in South America and Summit TV in South Africa. We reach around 300 million homes and can be seen on over 40 of the world’s leading airlines as World Business Special Edition, Tech Watch and Business of Sport.
