Continuing education Malaysia is one of the first developing nations to introduce the Open Entry and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in its education system. Open University Malaysia (OUM) has taken the challenge to provide lifelong learning opportunities and greater access to education through this mode. Traditionally, the entry to higher learning was limited and based on academic qualification criteria. However, with the new mode of entry, experiential learning is acknowledged and accepted as the qualifying requirement. This paper reports on the importance of Open Entry and RPL in enhancing knowledge society and an initial experience of implementing these initiatives in OUM. It also looks into the processes and procedures applied for executing the national agenda. The analysis here will be useful to establish guidelines for effective implementation of open entry and recognition of prior learning in countries, which have common context as in Malaysia. 2006 Article PeerReviewed text http://library.oum.edu.my/repository/106/1/initial_experience_in_implementation.pdf Kaur, Harvinder and Yousof @ Saat , Md.
