An education visionary expanding the award-winning Taylor's Education Group, among the best-known and most-trusted brands in education in the region

Dato’ Loy Teik Ngan helms Taylor’s Education Group (TEG), a cornerstone of Malaysian education and one of Southeast Asia’s most trusted names in education. Under his steady leadership, TEG has expanded its legacy of excellence beyond Malaysia into Singapore and Vietnam, broadening its regional influence.

His journey, however, has been anything but linear. His path, marked by adversity, taught him a deep-seated resilience and a profound respect for building institutions that endure. This philosophy is the bedrock of TEG’s success–a vibrant ecosystem featuring Taylor’s University, the top private university in Southeast Asia, and a network of 11 premier institutions such as the Garden International School, Nexus International Schools, Taylor’s College and British University Vietnam.

For Loy, true success is measured not just in growth, but also in impact. He is now channeling this conviction into a defining mission: transforming TEG into an exceptional place to work and democratising access to quality education. The recent launch of Lexel International School is a direct embodiment of the vision to offer quality education at an affordable price point.
