"From the perspective of the individual, if a person is frequently complaining, probably one of the factors is the low level of education that does not allow him to generate higher incomes.
"If his level of education is low, but he has a skill, his income is higher and if his skills go up again, he will be able to earn more income," he said.
Najib said this when opening a seminar for Parents and Community Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) 2016 Excellence Awards Ceremony and Contribution to the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) 2017 at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Convention Hall here today.
As such, Najib urged the people to always seize the opportunity to develop themselves and set goals at the highest level and is not easily satisfied or feels the ''struggle has been completed'' in the pursuit of success.
Najib added, education is not just purely academic in nature, but education in technical and vocational fields should also be able to increase the income of individuals, if done in earnest to the top.

He said the study found a positive impact on community involvement and benefits including reducing absenteeism, increasing the percentage of completed of tasks and help improve grades.
"When we want to educate, not only the principals and teachers should be involved, but the parents and the whole community and other stakeholders are involved as well in defining excellence in the field of knowledge," he said.
