Limitations in funding could hamper TVET 


THE Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector in Malaysia is facing a critical juncture as new funding conditions imposed by the Skills Development Fund Corporation (PTPK) threaten to derail access for thousands of aspiring youth, particularly those from the B40 income group.

I write to express my deep frustration and concern over the abrupt suspension and subsequent modification of the PTPK trainee loan scheme, which has severely disrupted the operations of training providers and jeopardised the future of thousands of trainees.
