Poser on value of university education

I REFER to Prof Dr Azyyati Mohd Suhaimi’s letter “Education is not purchased” (The Star, Aug 5). I would agree with the gist of the writer’s opinion, noting that many academics and higher education experts still believe that a university degree acts as an insurance policy against unemployment, better opportunities to become homeowners, and improved job and earning prospects, just to name a few benefits.

In recent years, however, the cost-of-living crisis, mounting student debt, and changing job requirements in some industries have had students and graduates questioning whether it is still worth going to university.
