KUALA LUMPUR: An estimated one million National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers could land better jobs and experience a higher standard of living, thanks to an agreement between PTPTN and the private sector.

PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan said the corporation signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at boosting employability and quality of employment of loan borrowers, which in turn would increase loan repayment performance.
