Ahmad Zahid,Minimum Wage,Employers

Indonesian gymnast Rifda Irfanaluthfi's palms are covered in chalk as she swings between two uneven bars during intensive training just weeks before she makes history at the Paris Olympics.

KUALA LANGAT: Technical and Vocational Education and Training graduates must be given premium wages and schools should allow for early exposure to TVET , said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also the chairman of the National TVET Council, said that with foreign investments looking for skilled workers, there is a need for TVET to be recognised as a valuable educational qualification. “There are 250,000 places for TVET applicants. For those who may not have done well in SPM, TVET is their saviour for a brighter future. The national average of employability of TVET graduates is 94.5%. The employability of TVET graduates under Mara and the Rural and Regional Development Ministry institutes is 98%.

“I have done the comparison between the conventional education system and the TVET system. For the former, the 11 years of compulsory education. However, should TVET begin at the age of 15 will raise the bar for TVET training. The foreign direct investors need skilled workers for their industries,” said Ahmad Zahid.
