Gaining ground in education


I AGREE with Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh that we no longer need to send our students overseas because our higher education system now is also among the best in the world, “Students should pursue degrees locally” (Sunday Star, April 23).

In the past, we sent students overseas for higher degree studies due to limited places in our local universities. The situation is different now as many public and private universities have been set up in the country for Malaysians as well as overseas students.
