Stopping at SPM level will affect country’s human resources, says deputy minister


MELAKA: The shift of some 300,000 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) graduates in not pursuing higher education is expected to have a detrimental impact on the country’s human resources, particularly in the effort to achieve 35% highly skilled workforce in the economic sector by 2030, says Mustapha Sakmud.

The Deputy Human Resources Minister said most SPM certificate-holders are more interested in working in the gig economy sector like ehailing or choosing to work in the manufacturing sector.
