The scholarship policy aims to increase the number and percentage of individuals obtaining diplomas, bachelor's degrees, and postgraduate studies in various fields, enhancing indicators related to the knowledge economy.
The new scholarship policy is based on four important principles, influencing the identification of target categories, available pathways, incentives provided to scholarship recipients, and reflected in quality, diversity, excellence, commitment, and indicator improvement. This policy aligns with the pillars of the national vision and strategic goals of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education:
Economic growth : Investing in education through scholarships contributes to economic growth by supporting students in gaining knowledge and developing skills crucial for innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development.
Equal opportunities : By bridging the financial gap, the Ministry aims to provide deserving students, regardless of their financial background, with high-quality education. This promotes social justice and equality in accessing quality education, fostering a more cohesive society, where opportunities are not limited by social and economic status.
Diversity and inclusion : Government scholarships contribute to diversity and inclusion in higher education, evident in targeted categories, available pathways, and incentives, both material and non-material. New pathways for scholarships support inclusion and diversity.
Talent development : New scholarship pathways identify and nurture talented individuals within targeted categories based on their creative abilities and skills. This helps address skill gaps in specific fields, ensuring a skilled workforce for the future in line with national development goals, encouraging innovation, research, and contribution to society.
