KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — Budget 2027 provides a comprehensive framework to empower young people by expanding access to quality job opportunities, industry-driven skills training and stronger social protection.
Perdana Fellows Alumni Association secretary-general Amir Izzwan Abu Hasan said the budget initiatives covered various key stages of youth development, helping young people build resilience in the face of current economic challenges.
He said one of the major initiatives that should be fully utilised was the RM8 billion allocation to strengthen the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) ecosystem, alongside access to 16,000 courses on the Coursera platform and 100,000 free subscriptions to artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
