Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI)
Tanjung Malim is a small town in
southern Perak on the border with the
state of Selangor, Malaysia. It is
some 70 km north of Kuala Lumpur.
This small town can be reached by using
the North-South expressway and going
through Ulu Bernam in Selangor.
A picturesque town which is fast
showing signs of modernisation and new development, Tanjung Malim is well
known among the teaching and circles of Malaysia for the presence of the
Sultan Idris Teachers' Training College ( Institut Pendidikan Sultan Idris
), a teacher-training college noted for having produced members of the
teaching profession who either become teachers of students who later rose
to national importance or who themselves acquired national significance of
one sort or another.
Named after the late Sultan Idris, during whose reign many important
events took place in Perak, the college is housed in a grand building of
British colonial design. Its distinctiveness architecturally has made it a
well-known landmark in Tanjung Malim, of being an institute of the
teaching profession not only in Perak but indeed for the whole nation.
The Training College was then upgraded
in 1997 to form the current
Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI)
and was officially open on May 1,
1997. The University is
specialised in teacher training and all
education related courses. Its
main objective is to fulfill the current
needs of the educational field in
Malaysia. Click
