TVET kini setaraf bidang akademik – Ahmad Zahid

AI Summary

Malaysia has introduced guidelines to articulate Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs with non-TVET academic programs. This allows TVET graduates to pursue higher academic qualifications, including Master's and Doctoral degrees, through the Master of Professional Practice and Doctor of Professional Practice programs approved by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stated this initiative aims to elevate TVET graduates and reflects the nation's commitment to producing highly skilled, world-class talent. The increasing popularity of the UP_TVET platform further demonstrates growing confidence in TVET pathways. The government is also amending Act 652 to recognize high levels of expertise within TVET, creating advancement pathways equivalent to academic fields.
