Abstract:
The role of higher education institutions (HEIs) has historically been recognized as a public good, with unique social responsibilities in producing knowledge for societal development and sustainability. In Asia, a region with so much disparity between rich and poor, between rural and urban, and with such diversities in religion, language and culture, inequality, poverty, insecurity, social exclusion and impropriety, the re-emphasis of principles of community engagement and participation should become the priority agenda for existing education.
