SHAH ALAM: The Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) has urged polytechnics and community colleges (POLYCC) to accelerate the adoption of digital technology in teaching and learning to strengthen Malaysia's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector. MOHE secretary-general Datuk Dr Anesee Ibrahim emphasised the need for higher learning institutions to move beyond traditional methods and integrate advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). 'For the first time this year, these technologies are being showcased in an exhibition format at the POLYCC eDOLA Digital Fair 2025, allowing visitors to experience the technology used in teaching and learning,' he said in a statement issued by the Polytechnic and Community College Education Department. Anesee officiated the closing of the two-day fair at Setia City Mall, which featured digital innovations including AI, AR, VR, flight simulators, robotics, and e-sports. The event also marked the launch of ILHAM@CeLT (Innovative Learning Hub for Advancing Method) by Politeknik METrO Kuala Lumpur, designed to develop future-focused digital teaching materials. Additionally, the fair hosted Malaysia's first POLYCC–AWS League of Large Language Model (LLM) Bootcamp, organised by Amazon Web Services (AWS), making POLYCC the first agency in the country to hold the programme.

Polytechnic and Community Colleges's vital role in Technical and Vocational Education and Training
Published on: Wednesday, May 07, 2025 Published on: Wed, May 07, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: Mohd Sahran in a group photo with the participants. TAWAU: Polytechnic and Community Colleges (POLYCC) continue to play a crucial role as leaders in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Malaysia. Director of Politeknik Tawau Sabah (PTS) Mohd Sahran @ Awang Mohidin, said that TVET education is increasingly becoming the top choice for students who are more inclined towards practical and skills-based learning. He emphasised that this is because TVET fields offer strong job prospects immediately after graduation. 'POLYCC also offers affordable tuition fees of only RM200 per semester, including programmes available at PTS such as the Diploma in Tourism Management and Diploma in Recreational Tourism,' he said while officiating the three-day 'Generasi Aspirasi SMK Ulu Sapi, Beluran 2025' programme . The programme was held at PTS on May 2-4, which involved 84 students from the school. It was organised in collaboration with PTS and the Institute of Teacher Education (IPG) (Tawau Campus). Meanwhile, the Principal of SMK Ulu Sapi, Railen @ Maria Guang, said the programme met its objectives by fostering cooperation among the three institutions in providing early exposure to higher education opportunities for the students involved. 'It has, to some extent, provided motivation and a clearer understanding for students about their educational pathways after completing the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM),' she said. She added that the participating students were from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (Stem) A and Humanities streams. The programme included educational and career motivation sessions, as well as briefings on admission into Polytechnics and Community Colleges. Participants also had the opportunity to experience both theoretical and practical learning sessions conducted entirely by lecturers and the Student Representative Council (JPP) of both institutions. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
