Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the people must adapt to the changes in the field of education.
In this regard, he said they must desire to pursue knowledge and skills to the highest level in order to achieve self-actualisation.
For example, he said, it was no longer enough to study and become a doctor but to strive higher and become a medical specialist.
He said during the post independence era, being an ordinary doctor might have been sufficient.
"But now we have more than 20 public institutions of higher learning and hundreds of private education institutions. So having a first class degree nowadays is no longer sufficient," he said.
He also stressed on education and knowledge as being the fundamentals for the self, race, and country to progress and sustain a civilisation.
