THE Higher Education Ministry wants at least 55% of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) leavers to enrol in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programmes by 2025.

This, said its minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, is in line with the 12th Malaysia Plan initiatives that encourage graduates to obtain the Malaysian Skills Certificate.
