教育部加强与私企合作，成功机构、顶级、丽阳联手提供TVET培训计划
教育部长马智礼说，技职教育是促进国家发展的推手，但是我国在2018年只有5.6%，或2万2000名学生参与技职教育课程，因此该部将致力于提升我国的技职教育水平，使之成为学生的首选课程。
他说，教育部今日与成功集闭、顶级手套（Top Glove Corporation Berhad )、阳机机构（Tropicana Corporation Berhad)和纳莎集团（Nam Group )签署合作证书（CoC )只是政府和私企合作提升国内技职教育水平的开始，来自柔佛和霹雳的4家石油与天然气公司，以及金融与银行机构也有意与教育部合作。
他说，我国2017年共有五分之一的毕业生在毕业后的6个月内仍处于失业状态，而根据招聘网站JobStree在2018年的调查显示，30%的企业正计划拓展营运，这显示人才需求与供应，以及毕业生技术与业者期待之间的差距。
“技职教育必须以行业为导向，就如我在访问中国期间，见识到企业在提升技职教育与培养技职人才方面所扮演的重要角色。”
提供学生更多就职跳板
“我们今日合作的4家企业，共有超过3万5000名员工，总收人超过140亿令吉。政企合作将协助我们提升技职教育至更高的阶段，包括提升学习与创新的设备和器材，分享与创造新的 知识，也为学生提供更多就职跳板。”
他说，除此之外，政府也设立技职教育与培训加强委员会，以制定策略，提升国内技职教育的地位。该会经过多次的交流与会议后，已更了解彼此需求，并找出新的合作方式。
他说，教育部也落实数项措施，以确保毕业生更具创业知识与准备好面对工业革命4.0的挑战，包括与马来西亚数码经济机构（MDEC)和ME.REKA合作，为社群提供符合工业4.0学习体验的创客空间，并在国内3所工艺学院推出网络安全课程。
马智礼不克出席教育部与上述4家企业的合作证书签署仪式，其讲稿由教育部副秘书长（战略策划）拿督卡米尔代读。
教育部工艺学院及社区学院教育局副主任（策划）莫哈末那因在新闻发布会上说，以马智礼为首的技职教育与培训加强委员会将在本月底将研究报告提成给内阁。
他说，该研究报告的重点是协调与统一技职教育，惟将由哪个单位及何种形式协调，则有待决定。
