IPOH, 11 September 2022 - The pace of Industry 4.0 will now be more challenging with the clash between the dependence on human labour and robotic machines created by humans themselves.

"Graduates need to be competitive with a high level of competence and well-informed, besides having high communication skills," he said when speaking at the ceremony.

He added that through the Malaysian Education Development Plan, TVET 4.0 aims to produce quality graduates.

"TVET 4.0 is based on new forms of teaching and learning, responsive and sustainable governance, applied research approaches, new innovations and technology-driven talents," he said.

He also congratulated the 973 graduates from 13 Community Colleges in Perak who received their Community College Diplomas and Certificates.
