Why are we telling our students they could have an easier route to a degree but expecting them to perform and excel in their jobs?
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mujahid Yusof Rawa recently said: “I hope all parties will stop issuing statements regarding the matriculation quota system in order to respect the decision of the Cabinet.”
If we admit that the matriculation exam is less vigorous, how can we accept it as an equivalent to STPM? If we claim that matriculation is mainly for students from the B40 group, may I know for sure how many of the total intake are truly from the underprivileged and lower income group? I think we should properly define and identify this group. Do we really have the information on this? It is my considered opinion that most matriculation students are not from the B40, although I would love to be proven wrong on this.
