Summary. Rural students in Malaysia apply to higher education at lower rates due to limited access to facilities, technology, and experienced teachers, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. High-Impact Community Engagement programs and Educational Knowledge Transfer Programs address these gaps through mentorship, workshops, industry partnerships, digital resources, and teacher training. The research finds that well-implemented community engagement significantly increases higher education applications and academic performance among rural students.
