State Education and Innovation Minister, Datuk Dr Yusof Yacob, who officiated the closing of SCINTEX ’19, said exposing students from elementary school to university level on the Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 is important so they can keep up with the latest technological developments.

Changes in the education system are needed so as not to miss out on any development like in other countries.

“The rapid changes in the industry require the community to be the catalyst for the Revolution Industry 4.0, therefore society must change as well.

“If we do not change, our country would not be able to develop like any other countries,” he said.

The SCINTEX ’19 was the fifth joint event by the ILP Kota Kinabalu, State Education and Innovation Ministry and Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), which aims to provide opportunities to students to showcase their creative innovations.

A total of 49 public institutions and schools across Sabah took part in the event.
