Educationist laments failure to get UEC recognised


BEING unable to get the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) recognised by the government is Chinese educationist Datuk Ong Chiow Chuen’s biggest regret, reports Sin Chew Daily.

Ong, who retired last December after having served as president of educationist group Jiao Zong for 26 years, recalled how the group had hoped that UEC graduates would finally get to enter public universities and join the civil service when Pakatan Harapan came to power in 2018.
