The Hon. Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy raised a supplementary question regarding equal opportunity in public sector recruitment, specifically questioning whether the government has current or planned measures to recognise degrees obtained from private and foreign universities for public employment purposes, given that state university admission is limited and many students pursue alternative higher education pathways.

My second supplementary: Equal opportunity must be ensured in public recruitment. Only a limited number of students can enter state universities; others study in private and foreign universities. Are there measures to recognize their degrees for public employment now, or in the future?
