Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has announced a new scholarship worth RM36 million aimed at sponsoring B40 students in TVET programmes. First, we discuss how this initiative might benefit students from the B40 category and how we can make it effective. Next, we explore how we can make TVET the top choice for SPM leavers and how having a career in TVET can contribute to nation building.
