Traditional education model obsolete, PM Anwar says

The traditional notion that students should rely heavily on certain countries or prestigious universities for their education is becoming increasingly irrelevant, said Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, reports the Malay Mail.

He said this was among the topics that was discussed in his meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 17 November. “Both of us also agreed to work on collaboration in terms of research and development in the aspect of education.

“This is because the traditional thinking of total obsession and dependence on particular countries and particular universities, I think, is obsolete, basically, not quite relevant with the dictates of the times,” he said at the celebration of Malaysia’s Yinson Holdings Bhd’s floating, production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, Maria Quitéria, which achieved its first oil production on 15 October 2024.
