ISTANBUL: More Malaysian students will have the opportunity to pursue higher education in Türkiye next year, with Mara planning to double its sponsorship intake.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the move was part of efforts to strengthen academic ties between the two countries.
"I will ensure that, at the very least, Mara will send twice the number of students to the same university next year," he said at a dinner with Malaysian students and Malaysian Embassy staff in Turkiye last night.
Zahid said the first batch of students are expected to prove themselves as among the best in their respective fields upon completing their four-year studies.
