The Education Ministry should disclose the limited number of places available.
PETALING JAYA: The Selangor MCA Youth Education Bureau Chief, Lawrence Low Kah Guan called for an open revelation of “the number of places offered per course per university around Malaysia.”
This was in response to Second Deputy Education Minister, P Kamalanathan’s comment on the reduction of medical course placements this year by a significant 272 places.
Lawrence said in a press statement that the data should be released prior to the announcement of the results for the students’ enrollment.
He said, “It should also be made known to the students the limited availability of ‘hot courses’ to prepare the students for alternative choices,” so that they would not end up frustrated over having their selections rejected.
Lawrence also felt that the Ministry of Education should look into an automatic acceptance of students who scored a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.0.
He said this would “relieve the issues of top scorers not being offered courses they had applied for, once and for all.”
