Bridging the skills gaps: The micro-credentials solution - Pravin Periasamy, Aliran

Educational reforms must bridge the skills gap by upskilling Malaysian talent quickly to keep pace with industrial development. While improving education quality through curriculum changes is important, it is a long-term solution. The government should focus on current university students.

One policy option is to subsidise micro credentials for local students during their studies, especially for in-demand digital skills.
