Dropouts and the changing economic environment


LATELY there have been many discussions on how e-commerce, robotics and Artificial Intelligence will disrupt the human workforce causing massive unemployment all over the world. We are already witnessing, high unemployment among the youths in Europe and even in Malaysia where we have at least a hundred thousand unemployed graduates.

There seems to be a massive disconnect between education output and employment requirements in Malaysia. Language, spoken and written is one major problem. The Malay youth speaks only in Bahasa Malaysia and the Chinese youth speak only in Chinese language.
