Human capital development is a critical enabler for driving and sustaining Malaysia’s economic growth. The availability of a skilled workforce is necessary to support the transition of all economic sectors towards knowledge-intensive activities, drive labour productivity gains, and attract investment into Malaysia.
Furthermore, an efficient and inclusive labour market will resolve mismatches in workforce demand and supply, and enable all Malaysians to participate in and benefit from the nation’s economic growth.
Investments in education also play a pivotal role in improving social mobility and the wellbeing of the rakyat.
