PUTRAJAYA: The higher education ministry is offering 24,500 places at polytechnics, community colleges and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in conjunction with the Madani government’s one-year anniversary programme.
The event is scheduled to take place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium grounds from tomorrow until Sunday.
In a statement today, the ministry said this includes 24,000 places through direct offers for diploma and certificate programmes at selected polytechnics and community colleges.
Another 500 places are for five undergraduate programmes at UiTM. These are for applicants mainly from the B40 group.
It said graduates and students of higher educational institutions interested in enhancing their marketability are invited to visit the ministry’s booth to find out about the various career enhancement courses offered under the global outsourcing talent programme for competency certification.
“We are also expecting visitors, especially students and school leavers, seeking information on higher-level education services through UPUOnline,” it said.
The National Higher Education Corporation (PTPTN) has also opened a counter to provide information on higher education financing services and offers a discount of up to 15% to borrowers who wish to make repayments.
The “Genggam Ijazah Tanpa Ke Universiti” programme, on the other hand, provides information and guidance on the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) and Lifelong Learning (PSH), managed by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency.
The ministry will also hosts various exhibitions showcasing the innovation and research achievements of Malaysia’s higher education sector, as well as two mobile health buses from UiTM and Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.
“Visitors can get free consultations and treatment from the health experts on duty,” said the ministry.
Recently, chief secretary to the government Zuki Ali said 102 government services will be available under one roof in conjunction with the Madani government’s one-year anniversary programme. - FMT
