The Ministry of Higher Education, Labour, and Skills Development has introduced a specialised short code number, 1474, to streamline access to its services.
In a social media post, Minister of State Abdullah Nazeer announced the launch of this short code, which is intended to simplify communication between students, parents, and the ministry’s relevant departments. He also noted that this initiative marks the first step toward establishing a call centre. He also said that the ministry's student portal is being upgraded to provide real-time information.
The ministry offers a range of education-related services, including advertising foreign scholarships, assisting with application submissions, and managing government-issued student loans.
