FEBRUARY 26 — Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir recently shared that more than half a million SPM graduates from 2020 to 2023 did not pursue tertiary education.
This is quite a shocking revelation which paints a grim picture about the future of the nation.
While I do acknowledge that a tertiary education is not for everyone—financial constraints, personal preferences, and the changing job market all influence this decision – I strongly advocate a tertiary education for most school leavers.
