End university quotas, set our education system free

From Murugesan Sinnandavar

Many dreams were either made or crushed at 12pm on Sept 25, when the results of public university intakes for the coming academic year were released online.

There was a sombre mood in my house when the results came out. My youngest daughter, with 4.0 CGPA and 9.2 points on her extra-curricular activities score, was offered her fifth and last choice of university courses.

Mind you, she did not even apply for the top 3 universities of Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia or Universiti Sains Malaysia for fear of being rejected. Even then, she was only offered a course that was inserted for the sake of filling in all the slots.

Now she has to decide whether to accept a course that is not in line with her dreams or pursue costly private education. At least she has the luxury of choice.
