KUALA LUMPUR: Parents should shed the mindset that labour intensive work would not guarantee the future of their children, and that TVET courses are only for those who are weak academically, says M. Kulasegaran.

"Do not think that welders cannot earn as much or more than graduates if they are properly equipped with the right qualifications from TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training)," said the Human Resources Minister.
