We examined the relationship between the student enrollment rate of the pre-primary primary, secondary and tertiary education in Malaysia and gross domestic product (GDP) growth. The problem statement of this research is, does the education attainment of the population can help to improve the Malaysian economic growth. Malaysian annual data were collected over thirty-three years from 1980-2012 and Johansen co-integration is employed in this study. Findings show the existence of a positive impact of pre-primary and primary education on economic growth, while there is negative impact of secondary and tertiary education on economic growth.

There is transfer of knowledge and sometimes economic or social benefits. While a lot of research has been conducted to assess the benefits of community engagement to the host community, little progress has covered the implications for the students participating in university community engagement. This paper discusses the findings of community engagement programme in Orang Asli Settlement in Kuala Gandah, Pahang. The objective of the research is to investigate the impact of community engagement programme to the student participants who were enrolled in Economics of Social Policy course at the postgraduate masters' level. Students' response to their level of academic performance, life skills, civic and social responsibility and personal development was assessed with a pre and post test questionnaire. Their response was based on the Likert scale of 1-10. Results were tabled and calculated for percent increase in knowledge based on the gap analysis method.

Valuing non-use values that arise from environmental services requires the application of non-market valuation techniques. In this paper, we carry out a stated preference choice experiment using hypothetical scenarios that describe potential outcomes of conservation programmes by Orang Asli communities in Peninsular Malaysia. The average value respondents would generally contribute is ranging between RM83.15 to RM283.10 per year. The highest value is at RM282.10 for knowledge related to medicinal plants, followed by RM99.80 for forest-related knowledge and RM83.15 for knowledge related to conservation of the natural resources.
