Average students can now turn to Community Colleges
BAU: Students with average results in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination can rest easy as they have the chance to continue their studies to a higher level while having innovative technical skills at Community Colleges.
Batu Kitang assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang said SPM leavers are encouraged to choose Community Colleges to further their studies in high skills.
“This is because these colleges imparts hands-on learning rather than on theory alone to meet the government’s challenge of producing a highly skilled and innovative workforce,” he said during a brief visit to the Educational Opportunity Briefing Programme from Mas Gading Community College (KKMG) in Kampung Haji Baki, on Sunday (Feb 6).
A total of 15 SPM leavers, community leaders from Batu Kitang and parents attended the briefing.
The KKMG will hold a series of similar briefings in other parts of the district to open up opportunities for SPM leavers, especially in rural areas.
Besides that, a talk by the Lifelong Programme Unit (PSH) on several short courses held every weekend for the local community was also delivered to the attendees.
KKMG is a higher learning institution under the Ministry of Higher Education.
The course programmes offered are Landscape Certificate and Information Technology Certificate with two years of study where the mode of learning is 90 per cent practical (hands-on) and 10 per cent theoretical.
Upon completion of the courses, students will have the opportunity to continue their studies at the diploma level at the polytechnics.
The minimum qualification for entry to KKMG is a pass in SPM.
