KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 — About 3,000 or five per cent out of 60,000 university students that took critical science, technology, engineering and mathematics switch their courses yearly,Director of the Strategic and Risk Management Office of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia , Assoc Prof Nik Hisyamudin Muhd Nor said this issue is mostly in programmes that involve high financial costs as students are often forced to change courses if they fail to get any sponsorship.
"What's more, it is harder to get students into technical programmes compared to those in information technology, as they are more confident in getting a job with the latter," he was quoted saying. President of the National Student Consultative Council , Wan Amsyar Hadie Wan Mahadi said the students may pick the wrong courses if they were not given any exposure to the programmes and subjects.
"If the number of students in such courses decreases, this will result in a shortage of manpower because the industry has an annual target," he reportedly said.
