From Amer Hamzah Md Sap

LONDON, Jan 12 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin
said Britain is interested to discuss ways to enhance relations with Malaysia in
education and related issues.

Muhyiddin, who is also education minister, said this was expressed by
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown during their short discussion before the
latter opened the Learning and Technology World Forum 2010 here Monday.

Muhyiddin was the only minister among the 73 ministers attending the forum
who was invited by Brown to have a discussion with him before the opening.

The Learning and Technology World Forum 2010 is the world's premier event on
learning technologies, attracting national and international leaders from across
the globe to share best practice and debate future practice in education and
skills.

The forum is led by Becta (the UK government's lead agency on supporting
technology in education) on behalf of the Department for Innovation,
Universities and Skills, Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF)
and Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and is fully supported
by the British Council and a range of partner organisations.

The forum is the largest educational leadership forum in the world covering
schools and further and higher education.
