I have recently come across a concerning trend that I feel must be addressed. SPM school leavers might have been dissuaded from pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) courses due to misconceptions about career prospects and income potential.
I am sharing my perspective on this issue by highlighting the immense value that STEM education, particularly engineering, brings to our nation. Contrary to common misconceptions, STEM-related industries are facing high demand and a significant shortage of skilled professionals.
