KUCHING: Politeknik Kuching Sarawak (PKS) in June 2014 enrolled 1,199 students – the highest intake in its 26 years of existence – to bring its total number of students to 4,800.

Between 30 and 40 per cent of those enrolled made PKS their first choice.

PKS director Clara Ong said the high number of the latest intake indicated that parents and the local community had confidence PKS would provide quality vocational and technical education.

"PKS has a proud and happy moment when 1,119 students enrolled for the June 2014 intake. That goes to show parents and the local community are becoming aware of the importance of vocational and technical education," she said.

She was speaking at PKS' 22nd convocation at Hotel Four Points which was officiated at by Housing Assistant Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, representing Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg.

A total of 872 students received their scroll at the ceremony which was divided into morning and afternoon sessions.

Ong said PKS would continue to form partnerships with industries to stay relevant with current needs.

She disclosed that PKS signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Swinburne Sarawak and Institute of Materials Malaysia (IMM) when SwakCREATE was held.

PKS has also signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with HERE Malaysia, and last year signed an MoU with Kolej Sunway Kuching.

An MoU will be signed with Land Surveyors Board Sarawak and Sabah Surveyors Board in the next few months, she added.

"We in PKS will continue to collaborate with industries to benefit students studying at PKS."

Ong invited PKS alumni to serve at the institution as lecturers, management officers, assistant accountants or technicians.
