Disabled, athletes, Orang Asli and those from low-income households will no longer have to compete with others, says Maszlee.
The Education Ministry has provided a special path to four groups, namely, persons with disabilities, athletes, the Orang Asli community and those from the low-income households, for admission to public universities, said its Minister Maszlee Malik.
They only need to meet requirements set by the selected universities and would only be filtered among their own groups, he added. “We provide this special path to emulate some advanced countries that emphasise participation of those from the groups particularly athletes as many enrol in universities due to their involvement in the field of sports science,” he told reporters after officiating the ‘Jom Masuk IPT 2019’ programme for the southern zone at the Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia in Batu Pahat today.
