Sound national development depends on quality human capital: Salleh

KOTA BELUD: Sound national development depends on the success of producing quality human capital that meets the needs of the 21st century, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.
In this regard, he said it was of utmost importance to identify and adopt the latest approaches to developing truly talented human capital that contributed to national development.
"In this context, we have to ensure that students are no longer the mundane human capital to just meet the needs of industry but have the talent to compete and contribute to solving current and future challenges.
"Hence, the development of talent among students has to showcase features such as critical thinking, problem-solving, effective communication, collaboration and teamwork, creativity and innovativeness, and cultural literacy.
"I believe students with these qualities can meet the needs of the country to compete and face global challenges," he said when opening the 'frog classroom' programme hub for the Kota Belud district at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Said near here today.
