Nak berniaga tiada ilmu, tak tahu cari modal. Jika telah diberi asas & ilmu keusahawanan sejak sekolah menengah, selain TVET, eloklah mereka berniaga. Ini boleh mengubah nasib #Bumiputera utk masa hadapan. Bukan hanya hidup dgn gaji yg kecil. pic.twitter.com/htkbV3LJCA
He asserts that to do so, these young individuals need to start learning entrepreneurship as early as possible, and what better way to do this than in secondary school?
Pendidikan keusahawanan perlu diajar sejak sekolah menengah. Perlu ada yg mengusahakan. Agar berniaga ada ilmu dan wujudkan budaya keusahawanan. 400+ ribu ambil SPM setahun. Cuma 51% lanjutkan pelajaran. Sekitar 200+ ribu bergaji kecil, kerja kilang, majoriti #Melayu/ #Bumiputera pic.twitter.com/6I0dsoFmq8

He tweeted, "Entrepreneurship education should be taught from secondary school. Someone needs to spearhead this effort. So that there's knowledge in business and a culture of entrepreneurship is fostered. Over 400,000 take SPM exams annually. Only 51% continue their studies. Around 200,000+ earn low wages, and work in factories, the majority being #Malay/#Bumiputera."
With such knowledge, he believes that the future generation wouldn't have to solely rely on low income to make ends meet. What do you think? Do you believe this subject should be implemented in high schools alongside other subjects that students already find challenging?
