Govt to cover half of civil servants’ master’s, PhD costs
JPA director-general Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz says the Apel.Q programme will benefit long-serving public servants.
The Malaysian government has announced that it will cover half of the expenses for civil servants pursuing master's and PhD programs through the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning for Qualification (Apel.Q) program. JPA director-general Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz revealed that this initiative is part of the department's efforts to provide public servants with opportunities to enhance their academic qualifications based on their work experience.
Those with extensive service experience will be able to pursue higher education as their work experience will be considered. Wan Ahmad emphasized that Apel.Q is one of several government facilities, including the federal training award and other forms of sponsorship, aimed at encouraging public servants to improve their knowledge, skills, and competencies.
This program was introduced at Dewan Tuanku Canselor, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, in Bachok today.
