GEORGE TOWN: The Jom Masuk U 2025 Carnival serves as a strategic platform for delivering comprehensive information on access to higher education institutions.
According to Higher Education director-general Datuk Prof Dr Azlinda Azman, the carnival is specially designed to achieve the Fourth Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations, which calls on all parties to ensure inclusive, equitable and quality access to higher education, regardless of background.
“This carnival provides an opportunity for the community, especially students who have completed their SPM, STPM, diploma, foundation and matriculation, to receive detailed guidance and up-to-date information from public and private universities as well as related agencies participating in the exhibition,” she said in her speech at Universiti Sains Malaysia’s main student hall here yesterday, Bernama reported.
With technological advancements, rapid globalisation and changes in the job market, the country’s higher education system needs to transform and adapt, Azlinda said.
The two-day programme has attracted 56 exhibitors, including leading public universities and private institutions.
