A new study by Lee Hwok-Aun Lee also said the continuation of programmes offering easier entry routes into universities did not effectively prepare students for higher learning. FMTNews Bumiputera

The ‘rapid gains’ in tertiary education and steady rise into high-level positions achieved by Bumiputeras have slowed in the past decades, according to a new study.

He said public institutions had played key roles in both areas, with Bumiputeras predominantly studying in public universities and colleges and then moving up corporate ladders in the public sector and government-linked companies . “GLCs remain flagbearers of affirmative action in business. Bumiputera SMEs continue to be concentrated at micro and small scales and are largely dependent on public procurement and state support,” he said.

Lee, however, observed a shift in the education sector, such as an increase in the prioritisation of poor students.
