PUTRAJAYA: The younger generation today should consider themselves lucky for the many opportunities to pursue quality higher education at minimal costs, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Najib said about 39% of those aged 17 to 23 now had the opportunity to study locally and the percentage was the highest among developing nations.

It was also among the cheapest in developing nations, he added. “But the government’s efforts will not stop here,” he promised during a Buka Puasa function at his official residence here yesterday.
