Education stocks decline as optimism wanes
KUALA LUMPUR: Education-related stocks on Bursa Malaysia declined in the morning session on Thursday, Sept 29 as the outlook for the sector turned weaker.
At 12.30pm, HELP fell 25 sen to RM1.62, SEG International down two sen to RM1.70 and Masterskill shed one sen to RM1.08.
HELP yesterday when announcing its third quarter results said it was impacted by lower enrolment and higher cost, and also indicated that its students from China were likely to pursue their studies directly in the US and UK due to the weakening dollar and sterling pound.
RHB Research meanwhile downgraded the education sector from Overweight to Neutral, and said that it was cautious on the sector this quarter given rising macroeconomics headwinds, illiquid factor of the stocks and the small market capitalisation of the education stocks (less than RM1 billion).
In addition, high foreign shareholdings for HELP (12.5%) and Masterskill (49%) also increased their susceptibility to volatile portfolio flows, it said on Sept 29.
RHB Research cut its target FY12 PER by one to two times given the bearish macroeconomic outlook and few re-rating catalysts for the sector.
The research house downgraded HELP and Masterskill from Outperform to Underperform, while maintaining SEG an Outperform. - TheEdgeMalaysia.com

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- The government is prepared to assist Malaysian students without visas to return to Syria and continue their studies once the situation there returns to normal, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Khaled Nordin.
He said going back should not pose a problem for those who had earlier entered Syria through appropriate channels but there were students who had gone on social visas or overstayed.
"They took advantage of the turmoil in the country to come back to Malaysia but will face problems when they try to go back," he added.
"We will try to help but whether they can get back or not that's another matter," he said when asked to comment on the problems faced by some Malaysian students in going back to Syria because they did not have visas to do so.
Mohd Khaled was speaking to reporters after handing over the Ministry's international scholarship offer letters here, today.
He said RM10.9 million had been allocated to sponsor 110 international scholarships for the 2011/2012 academic session.

Group farming project for graduates in Sabah
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said such project would provide opportunities to these graduates and the institut to collaborate in planning and implementing strategies to develop the plantation and agricultures sectors in the state.
"We will give serious consideration to any application that is beneficial to the people, including the youth, in the state" he said after opening the first convocation of Institut of Skill-Tech Sabah, at Tun Ahmad Raffae Auditorium, Tun Mustapha Tower here.
Musa was asked to comment on the proposal for such project by the institut's chief executive, Nordin Abdul Maleh, in his welcoming speech earlier.
The CM said the setting up of agro-related institutes in the state was appropriate in view of the need to give training opportunities to the youth, thus enabling them to work in the plantation sector.
This was also in line with the Governmen's intention to focus on the agriculture sector apart from tourism and maunfacturing, he said.
"We will focus on the agricultural sector in view of the availability of vast tract of fertile land in Sabah' he said, thanking the Melaka-based institut for setting up a branch in Keningau, in the interior of Sabah.
Musa urged the youth, especially Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia school leavers to enroll in courses provided by the institut. "We should change the perception that livestock breeding or farming are lowly jobs.
If we have the knowledge and skills, we can be a successful livestock breeder or farmer" he said, adding that Sabah is on the right track in making agriculture one of the economic engines of the state.-Daily Express
