Getting affordable education as a non-Malay is like shooting at that same barrel but with a bulletproof-glass lid.
On average, the cost of an undergraduate degree in a Malaysian public university rarely exceeds RM30,000, which is why placement in these institutions is highly sought after.The matriculation programme, which provides a diploma-level certificate in either science, accounting, or technical, is highly coveted by those looking for an affordable route to higher education.
Since the change of government in 2018, many had hoped that the quota in the matriculation programme would be adjusted to accommodate the marginalised B40 Chinese and Indians. The additional seats also lead to a higher student-faculty ratio, increasing the workload for lecturers and giving them less time and opportunity to focus on each individual student, which could consequently lead to a drop in the quality of education.
