Three years ago, 190,000 students enrolled in TVET, and now the number has risen to 439,000 studens across 1,368 TVET institutions nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means we have made a game-changing shift in transforming the education ecosystem \u2013 moving away from the conventional pathway that emphasised the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) before proceeding to university,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said this in his speech at the Chit Chat Madani programme organised by the Madani Government Supporters Club in collaboration with the Higher Education Ministry at the Parliament building here yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Zahid, who also chairs the National TVET Council, said the employability rate for graduates from TVET institutions under the Rural and Regional Development Ministry stood at 98.7%, while the Construction Industry Develop\u00adment Board\u2019s (CIDB) Akademi Binaan Malaysia recorded a 100% rate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the national minimum wage is RM1,700, graduates holding the Malaysian Skills Certificate (SKM) Level 3 under TVET receive higher salaries of around RM2,500. This is why the government prioritises TVET, with a focus on students in rural areas,\u201d he said, Bernama reported.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the government would continue to make TVET one of the main fields driving the transformation of Malaysia\u2019s youth workforce ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allocation for TVET across 12 ministries has consistently grown since I began chairing the Council: from RM6.8bil initially, to RM7.5bil a year later, and further rising to RM7.9bil next year, as announced by the Prime Minister. This demonstrates the government\u2019s serious commitment to TVET.\u201d<\/p>\n<pre><i>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/nation\/2025\/10\/30\/tvet-enrolment-targeted-to-hit-70-under-13mp\">https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/nation\/2025\/10\/30\/tvet-enrolment-targeted-to-hit-70-under-13mp<\/a><\/i><\/pre>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TVET enrolment targeted to hit 70% under 13MP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[115],"class_list":["post-6409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-tvet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6409"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6546,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6409\/revisions\/6546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propp.my\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
