Party president says current policy both 'outdated' and 'regressive'.
Putrajaya's decision to increase the matriculation programme's intake does not make the system fairer, said Gerakan president Dominic Lau.
"The federal government could also consider adopting a single examination with STPM the only test for entry into a public university. "A bigger intake but with the quota remaining in place is not a solution that Pakatan Harapan should be proud of," said Lau in a statement today.The Education Ministry had recently announced that the intake for the matriculation programme would increase by 60 percent to 40,000 while the 90:10 quota would remain.
