KUALA LUMPUR: A comprehensive study is needed before the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan waiver initiative for first-class graduates can be extended to private university students, says Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
The Higher Education Minister said the decision to offer PTPTN loan exemptions to graduates from the Bottom 40 (B40) and Middle 40 (M40) income groups who achieve first-class honours currently applies only to those from public universities.
