PETALING JAYA, August 6 — The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance today emphasised the importance of a needs-based education system in promoting equal opportunities for underprivileged students as this will level the playing field and bridge the educational gap between students who come from different race and socio-economic backgrounds.
“The prime minister said that a needs-based approach would help the Malays more than race-based policies because race-based policies have been proven to be used by the elites and their cronies to benefit themselves,” he said during a press conference here today, quoting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s response to an interview with news channelTo address this, Muda proposes the introduction of an additional special quota, called the B40 quota, irrespective of race.
Syed Saddiq added that as part of a transitional plan towards a needs-based education system, Muda advocates a K12 education model, which includes a single-entry point exam after SPM to enter university. “As we move to transition long term to the K12 education model, we also need to give emphasis to the TVET system, because while everyone wants to participate in a single lane, everyone wants to enter matriculation, but unfortunately, today the government spends RM8 billion every year on TVET, but the admission rate is still below 50 per cent,” he said.
“I am confident that through a bi-partisan spirit of solving this issue harmoniously without turning our backs on the Constitution, we will uphold the rights of those who come from underprivileged families.
