PORT DICKSON, May 10 — School leavers from low-income (B40) families who have completed their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations with excellent results have promising opportunities to pursue studies in professional fields.
Yayasan Peneraju's Transformation Office vice president Mohamad Syakir Mohd Sarib said that as an agency under the Economy Ministry, they are ready to support them in continuing their education through the flexible financing assistance scheme offered.
“Yayasan Peneraju does not impose specific conditions, particularly when it concerns household income, for applications to the flexible financing assistance scheme.
“This means that anyone who is interested may apply and benefit from this scheme to pursue higher education,” he told Media Selangor.
Syakir added that Yayasan Peneraju also provides exposure to SPM school leavers about the courses available and career opportunities in various industries, helping to address youth graduate unemployment.
