JOHOR BARU, June 22 — The Higher Education Ministry today denied allegations that its stringent condition on loans and scholarships is the factor post Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia students choose not to further their education to tertiary level.
He said loan facilities under the National Higher Education Fund Corporation were only based on the income of the parents. “...or they apply or choose a subject that does not suit their qualifications, students need to enter the IPT first and then see if they can get a loan or not,” he said at a press conference after his working visit to the Ibrahim Sultan Polytechnic, here today .
Universiti Malaya Student Union president Nur Nazirah Abdullah was reported as saying that the main factor for SPM leavers not wanting to continue their studies is the lack of financial resources, and recommended that the government implements more financial aid initiatives or create a plan that provides financial security to students.
