Do away with race-based education quotas, says Muda

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Muda has called for a shift in the education system from a race-based approach to a needs-based approach.

At a press conference here, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said this would ensure that students who excel in their studies will get university places.

The Muar MP noted how straight-A students who failed to secure a place in public matriculation programmes have been offered spots in top global universities, such as Harvard and Oxford.

“To solve this problem, Muda suggests that we transition from a purely race-based system to a hybrid needs-based and merit-based system,” he said.
