Higher Education Ministry to add more programmes to boost marketability of graduates

KUALA LUMPUR: The Higher Education Ministry will focus on intensifying efforts for more programmes to increase the marketability of university graduates.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said this was due to an oversupply of graduates compared to current industry demand.

"If we are to look at the medical field, public universities are producing some 1,300 medical graduates a year. Along with private medical graduates, the total number of medical graduates does not exceed 3,000. Khaled said graduates also need to be provided with entrepreneurial knowledge to enable them to generate income and not just depend on the job search process.
