Govt amending National Skills Development Act to empower TVET
PUTRAJAYA: The government has agreed to amend the National Skills Development Act 2006 to strengthen technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the country. Human Resources Minister Steven Sim (pic) said through the amendment, the ministry aims to elevate the Malaysian Skills Certificate (SKM) to a level equivalent to a degree or even a doctorate (PhD). He said the introduction of new and higher levels in the SKM was necessary, as the certificate currently only comprises levels one to five, which are equivalent to an advanced diploma. "I will table the amendment in Parliament and I urge all MPs to support it. I want (to increase the levels to) six, seven and eight so that TVET education can be considered on par with a PhD," he said when launching the P10X Academy Sdn Bhd here on Tuesday (June 17). He added that the public must change its perception of TVET institutions, as they offer vast opportunities for youth to acquire knowledge and new skills. "We want to draw parents' attention to TVET… we also want to cultivate the mindset that not everyone needs to go to university, as we also have TVET institutions for further studies," he said. Meanwhile, Sim said the integrated UP_TVET system has received 140,000 applications for admission to TVET institutions so far. "Perhaps one day, we will also include private TVET institutions so that students interested in such fields can access them through the same website," he said. – Bernama

Mindef Aims To Digitalise All 38 Schools In Camps Nationwide
KLUANG, June 17 (Bernama) – The Ministry of Defence (Mindef) aims to digitalise all 38 schools in camps nationwide as part of efforts to cultivate the use of creative technology among children of defence personnel. Deputy Minister Adly Zahari said the initiative is aligned with the Ministry of Education's Digital Education Policy launched in 2023, which seeks to produce digitally fluent students capable of navigating the demands of today's technological landscape. 'This initiative will also empower educators and education leaders to integrate digital technology into the education ecosystem, strengthen digital infrastructure and content, as well as optimise strategic partnerships to advance digital education,' he said after launching the Affin Digital Space at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Sultan Sir Ibrahim here today. SK Sultan Sir Ibrahim is among the three schools that were selected for this year's pilot project, through a collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Affin Bank Berhad, with an allocation of RM94,000. The first two schools to implement the initiative were SK Kementah and SK TUDM Subang. 'All 38 schools in camps, including those in Sabah and Sarawak, will be digitalised in phases, subject to feedback and the effectiveness of the pilot project,' said Adly. He stressed that digitalisation is not only aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of teaching and learning but also supports the national well-being ecosystem through the MADANI nation-building agenda and the National Fourth Industrial Revolution policy. At SK Sultan Sir Ibrahim, a green screen technology studio has been set up to enable students and teachers to produce creative, media-based educational content. 'During the launch, the school media crew also demonstrated the use of green screen facilities, video editing techniques and lighting setups. A short video presentation titled Bicara Pemimpin was also screened, highlighting the students' talents, especially members of the school resource centre's TV team,' he added. — BERNAMA BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.
