Regha argued that polytechnic graduates often have a more practical and hands-on educational experience compared to their university counterparts, making them well-equipped for the job market.
"Polytechnic graduates do more practicals while in school, so they have better experience than graduates from universities. It is unfair to subject them to a one-year mandatory training when BSc. holders are not required to do the same," he said.
This sentiment is echoed by industry experts, who believe that the current system creates an uneven playing field for polytechnic graduates. "Polytechnic students often spend more time in practical workshops and laboratories, developing essential skills that are highly valued by employers," an individual noted.
