PARIS: The education ministry is aiming to develop future-proof graduates who possess the right skills, abilities and humanistic values to adapt to rapidly-changing technology.

Maszlee was speaking to about 65 Malaysian students here at a meet-and-greet session at Rumah Malaysia, the official residence of the Malaysian ambassador to France, Azfar Mohammad Mustafa, here today. Sharing the Malaysian government’s aspiration and the ambitious Shared Prosperity Vision 2030, Maszlee reiterated that Malaysian youths have a big role to play in nation-building, in line with this vision.Maszlee said he often heard complaints from industrialists that graduates lacked the required skills and were unable to speak in English.

Later, during a question-and-answer session, Maszlee said it did not matter which country a Malaysian student graduated from, rather it is more of equipping students with cutting-edge skills valued by employers globally.
