The Malaysian Digital Ministry has announced the addition of 25,000 Global Learning Pass licences, bringing the total to 100,000. These licences provide Malaysians with three months of complimentary access to Coursera courses. The ministry stated that this move reflects its commitment to meeting public demand for digital upskilling opportunities.
Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo emphasized that the large response to the programme demonstrates the public's eagerness to continuously learn. The additional licences will be made available in mid-November to those on the waiting list, who are advised to check their emails for further instructions. The Global Learning Pass was initially rolled out in September, with 100,000 licences distributed in four cohorts over a year.
Apart from the Global Learning Pass, the AI Untuk Rakyat programme is also accessible via the Rakyat Digital portal. Eligible youths can access GenAI tools, including Google Gemini Enterprise, YTL's ILMUchat, Alibaba's MuleRun, and WonderClip, after completing five prerequisite courses. The availability of these digital learning opportunities aims to strengthen Malaysians' capabilities and improve their career prospects.
