JOM MASUK IPT ZONE 3 SARAWAK AND UiTM-PTPTN MoU CEREMONY WERE HELD AT BCCK.

UiTM recently co-hosted the Jom Masuk IPT Zone 3 Sarawak held on 19 and 20 February at the Borneo Convention Centre, Kuching (BCCK). I would like to thank the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) for trusting UiTM Sarawak Branch to co-organise events that enable applicants and parents to learn more about the academic programmes offered by public and private higher learning institutions.

Officiated by YB Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn, Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development, who represented Sarawak Chief Minister YAB Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, 60 exhibitors from 21 public and 31 private higher learning institutions and 8 related agencies participated in the Jom Masuk IPT. I myself had the opportunity to visit all the booths and talk to the officials on duty who provide information and admission guidelines.

During the ceremony, 5 students received tablets donated by UiTM Sarawak Alumni Association (MITSA), 5 students received internet data plan and 3 other students received offer letters for admission into UiTM Pre-University Programme.

I then attended the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between UiTM and PTPTN (National Higher Education Fund Corporation). This strategic collaboration aims to improve financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Encik Ahmad Dasuki Abdul Majid, Chief Executive of PTPTN, was with me and the session was observed by YB Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn. Prof Datuk Dr Jamil Hamali, Rector of UiTM Sarawak Branch, and Puan Mastura Mohd Khalid, Chief Operating Officer of PTPTN, were also present.
