Universities have a bigger role than just producing a labour force, says an economist.
It said many young people work in jobs for which they are overqualified, are likely to earn less than they otherwise could, and do not make the most of their productive potential. “However, the effectiveness and productivity of the employee with paper qualifications will vary according to the quality of education and industry relevance of the curriculum, as well as individual attributes such as ambition, learning and ability to adapt,” Yeah told FMT.However, he said it was not fair to assume the only role of universities was to produce a labour force.
“Universities should explore new courses relevant to the industry. Universities should also nurture a pool of technologists, scientists, researchers, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are able to advance the frontier of knowledge and innovations in both the industry and academic spheres.
Discimination of salary for Malay workers in Chinese leadership company..Sapa mau jawab aaa?
Paper qualifications alone is never enough! Never has been! In a pool of applicants for the same job, success is determined by who has the additional advantage such as language proficiency, character, charisma, confidence and additional skills. Graduates need to equip themselves!
For a developing nation like Malaysia, technical skills are more worthwhile than degrees. I wish I took some useful diploma instead of my degree because I have so much debt now and no work opportunity.
Fully agreed, paper alone not enough. Value added skill and strong character plus element of lucky needed. Best if you got strong cable!
The best excuse for quitting i heard so far, “I can’t work with contractors because I’m scared”.
Malaysian education is a failure. You do not teach students to critically analyse and think. Ur teachers are political and racist. The government keeps them stupid in order to continue suppressing them, to continue their racists, thieving, corrupted political agendas. UMNO undur!
The government sets the education policy....the kind of goverment we elect is reflective of the kind of voters we are...... the govermentjust panders to the populace....if the majority wants some inefficient minister...thts wat we get
Thanks to quota.
Education is one thing but the pay is extremely low!
Education best left to private sector. And students should have free choice to study the courses they want. Free market forces will find its optimum equilibrium in its own. Government should facilitate in getting statistical data of job demands in the market
Out ministry is sleeping. The locals graduate is not only fighting amongst them but also with the foreign staff n offered minimum wages to the local. Pls buck up n do some investigation.
There's a lot of fundamental problems here. 1) lack of job opportunities. Not many big companies in Malaysia 2) lack of quality job-ready graduates. We failed in both.
the nurturing of values does not match industry requirements.literacy alone is not sufficient.that system is 250 yrs old,then to support ind rev 1.0..creativity is the future of education.that is for ind rev4.0.tiktok,youtube,1mil viewers you can make money.need creativity🙂🤔
