00:00 The Higher Education Ministry has 12 months to identify issues facing the sector and also
00:08 compile the targets achieved.
00:11 We have to address the core and not the peripheral issues.
00:16 Speaking about the Ministry's roadmap for 2024 on Friday, Zambri also said that this
00:22 was necessary to obtain accurate data for the formulation of the higher education sector's
00:26 next long-term strategy, which would be incorporated into the new National Higher Education Development
00:32 Plan.
00:33 The Malaysia Education Development Plan or PPPM 2015-2025 will be completed next year.
00:43 So I think this year is the time for us to draft the new Malaysia Higher Education Development
00:51 Plan as a continuation of the plan.
00:56 He said the Ministry will have five core focuses for the year.
01:13 Number one, providing the best talent in the country.
01:27 Number two, strengthening the ecosystem of research and innovation.
01:36 Number three, developing the highest education.
01:44 And number five, strengthening the ecosystem of talent.
01:46 Zambri said to advance the country's development, what is needed are individuals who are not
01:51 only well-educated but are holistic and possess diversified skills.
01:55 The goal, the Minister said, is to cultivate individuals who excel academically and also
02:01 demonstrate qualities such as empathy, problem-solving abilities and creativity to address societal
02:07 challenges.
02:08 Additionally, Zambri said it was important for higher learning institutions to collaborate
02:14 meaningfully with the industry to ensure graduates meet the actual requirements and needs of
02:19 the workforce.
02:20 Thank you.
