country • For example: in Law, Mass Comm, Engineering,

Impact

• UiTM has been a catalyst of social engineering for Bumiputeras.

• It is perhaps one of the greatest success stories of the government.

30

• With the present intake policy of democratizing Bumiputera education and providing places for upgrading the poor, we are taking part in transforming the nation.

• There is proof that our efforts to upgrade even the weakest have produced captains of industries

• On the issue of quality of students, distinction must be made between quality at entry point and quality at exit point. from the point of view of social justice, entry points are less important than exit points. it is not how a kid begins the race. it is how he ends the race that matters.

SPECIAL CSR PROGRAMME

33

ENGINEERING THE DESTINY OF STREET KIDS

• A large portion of excellent students based on national exams apply to study at UiTM and they are chosen based on merit

• 250K apply for 373 academic programmes offered but only 25K are admitted in a year (only about 10%)

• These students form the core group of our student population

• Recent survey showed that 80% came from well to do families and from selected boarding schools

34

• But what about the poor and the under privileged?

• We also mould the low achievers from poor families to become successful

• We have trained about 20,000 from this group since 2010

• 85% have been successful in their pre-diploma programmes and now they are joining the main stream diploma students

• Our alumni have been supporting this programme financially

• The Prime Minister is the patron
