Commenting further, Zubaidah added that Mas Gading Community College was expecting 87 students who would be pursuing the Certificate in Landscape and Certificate in Information Technology.
“The admission of these students will be done in stages starting from November 1. They will be given Covid-19 test kits which were provided by the Ministry of Higher Education upon entering.
“I hope that there will be no more Covid-19 cases among the students here and that they will be excited about coming back to campus,” she said.
She disclosed that the students would undergo hybrid learning, namely, have virtual as well as physical classes.
Zubaidah shared that Polytechnic Kuching, Community College Kuching and Mas Gading Community College had produced over 90 percent marketable graduates since 2019.
“The institutions have a high marketable rate due to their focus on hands-on skills.
