US startup Network School ordered to halt Johor operations
Malaysian authorities have ordered US-based education provider Network School to cease all operations in Johor, Malaysia. The company had been offering technology and business-related training programs.
Network School, an education provider originating from the United States, has been directed to immediately halt all its operations within Johor, Malaysia. The directive was issued by the Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs, although specific reasons for the order have not yet been disclosed.
The order reportedly came into effect on Saturday. Network School has been providing training programs focused on technology and business, targeting young individuals and career changers. Representatives from the company have not yet issued a statement regarding the development.
Malaysian authorities have previously voiced concerns regarding the oversight of foreign educational institutions and potential non-compliance with regulations. Further details surrounding the background of this specific order are anticipated.
This situation raises questions about the regulatory framework for foreign education providers operating in Malaysia and the potential impact on students who have already enrolled in programs at Network School.
