Whichever government comes to power cannot abolish the present quota system for students to enter the matriculation programme and public universities. It would be political suicide to do so, as the prime minister wisely said in a student-prime minister dialogue yesterday.Would PAS and Bersatu abolish the quota system if they were to come to power? No, they definitely would not. So, politicians have to tread carefully when approaching this sensitive subject.
Going by meritocracy, Indians will lose to the Chinese and Malays. Not all Indian students are high achievers. Only about 2% to 3% of Indian students are high achievers in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia . Many of these high achievers are born to rich families and may have other plans as far as education is concerned.
By population composition, and percentage-wise, more Bumiputeras would not get a place to do matriculation than Indians and Chinese. Those deprived of this chance have other options, such as studying at Universiti Teknologi Mara , private institutions or start off by doing a diploma course in areas of their choice.
