Rationale for Change

Titah sempena menyambut tahun baru 2013

1. DTE system established since 1993. World has changed dramatically. DTE system no longer relevant or responsive in a modern-day competitive economy

2. A new system of governance required to stay relevant and responsive

3. Need for strategic alignment with education, economy and social aspiration

4. Key issue is addressing the needs of the less academic students in schools

5. Need to respond to national aspirations (SPN-21 and Wawasan 2035)

6. Need to focus on skills development and alignment with national manpower needs

7. Challenge is to build a world-class post-secondary technical education institution
