BANGI, Oct 10 — Tahfiz graduates should have wider opportunities to pursue higher education and professional careers in fields such as technology, engineering and medicine to meet the country’s evolving workforce needs, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
He said tahfiz education should go beyond Quran memorisation by equipping graduates with the knowledge, skills and qualifications needed to pursue a broader range of careers.
“My principle is simple. Tahfiz graduates should not have to choose between religion and their ambitions. They should be given the opportunity to deepen their religious knowledge while acquiring the skills and qualifications needed for professional careers,” he said at the 10th Huffaz Nusantara Permata Al-Quran Convocation at the German-Malaysian Institute here today.
