GEORGE TOWN, June 25 — The Higher Education Ministry is open to collaborating with various ministries and the electrical and electronics industries to cultivate talent that meets industry demands, stated Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir.
“We are examining policies to determine what we can offer to meet industry needs,” he said during a speech at an E&E Industry dialogue session in Amari Spice Penang today. “I propose that we establish 100 of these TVET programmes so that by 2030, we can produce 200,000 engineers,” he stated.“Currently, 40 per cent of students enter the science stream but along the way, five to 10 per cent switch to arts,” he said.
“There are liberal arts and humanities students who excel in mathematics and science, so they can join STEM programmes through the TVET foundation programme,” he explained.
