KUCHING (May 5): Several students who completed their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations joined the Sarawak Zone 'Jom Masuk U 2025' Carnival organised by the Higher Education Ministry over the weekend.
The carnival was held at Mydin Vista Tunku in Petra Jaya here, where Politeknik Kuching Sarawak (PKS) management services division head Husini Bakir represented Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development Dato Sri Roland Sagah Wee Inn at the opening ceremony on Saturday.
'This programme is an important initiative of the (Higher Education) Ministry in providing information related to higher education pathways directly and comprehensively to SPM, STPM and equivalent graduates,' PKS said in a statement yesterday.
In his remarks, Husini said this carnival serves as a vital platform for participants to choose an appropriate tertiary programme to pursue after completing SPM.
'Participants will be equipped with the know-how on picking either a public university or private higher education institution in line with their interests and qualifications.
'Students should make full use of such a venue provided for their benefits. I hope that our children take this opportunity to gather as much relevant information as possible to prepare well before pursuing tertiary education,' he said.
Meanwhile, the Sarawak Zone Politeknik and Community College festival was held concurrently with the carnival, introducing various lifelong learning courses that are open to the general public.
These courses cover various fields, and come with participating certificates as a token of encouragement and recognition.
'This programme reflects the Higher Education Ministry's ongoing commitment to bringing higher education opportunities closer to the people, while supporting the country's efforts in talent and human capital development,' PKS said. education lead Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia tertiary education
