SPM 2024: MOE seeks to further boost subject performance
PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Education (MOE) will conduct a detailed review of the performance of each subject in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination to identify areas for improvement and strengthen the national education system, said its Secretary-General, Datuk Aminuddin Hassim.
He, said that although the 2024 SPM results showed an encouraging improvement, the ministry remains committed to ongoing enhancements.
'We will examine the quality of each subject during the post-mortem process and look to improve those subjects with slight weaknesses, in addition to focusing on how we can assist candidates sitting for the SPM this year,' he told reporters after observing the announcement of the 2024 SPM results at Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah (SAS) here today.
Aminuddin added that the MOE would also seek feedback to enhance the examination ecosystem, including counselling support to help students make informed decisions regarding their career paths.
'We will try to get some feedback, such as when would be the appropriate time to announce the results online, and we will also consider how best to support parents in making decisions upon receiving their children's SPM results.
'(Namely) How they can obtain counselling services to assist their children in making decisions regarding further studies or career choices,' he said.
He noted that this year's SPM results also provided the ministry with an opportunity to re-evaluate educational approaches in support of the country's development policies across various sectors.
'For example, should we place greater emphasis on STEM? Should we also give more focus to the arts stream? These are matters we need to consider moving forward to prepare our younger generation as they enter the workforce,' he added.
Earlier, Aminuddin attended the announcement ceremony for 172 students of Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah who sat for the 2024 SPM.
The prestigious school once again recorded excellent results, with all candidates qualifying for certificates and more than 45 per cent obtaining outstanding grades (A+, A, A-) in all subjects taken.
Also present was the Putrajaya Education Department Director, Ezaiddin Hussain.

PM donates laptop to underprivileged top student in Kelantan
BACHOK: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has donated a laptop to Muhammad Syimir Amar AlMuktar, 18, an underprivileged student from Kampung Pengkalan Chengal, Perupok. The contribution was presented by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) central leadership council member, Prof Dr Maszlee Malik, who visited the student on Anwar's behalf under the Ziarah Kasih MADANI initiative. Maszlee said Muhammad Syimir, who scored 8As in the recent Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, was facing financial difficulties in continuing his studies at Politeknik Arau, Perlis. 'We were informed that he comes from a struggling family, raised by a single mother. When the Prime Minister learned of his situation, he immediately wanted to help by providing a laptop. 'This government is committed to ensuring no student is left behind due to financial hardship. We encourage local leaders to alert us if there are others in similar circumstances,' he said during the visit here today. Muhammad Syimir expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister for the donation, which he said would greatly ease his preparation to begin a foundation course in Engineering Technology on July 9. 'I didn't expect to receive direct assistance from the Prime Minister. Without this contribution, I would have had to save up on my own to buy a laptop,' said the aspiring engineer. His mother, Hayuzi Mat Zin, 46, who supports the family by selling traditional kuih from home, said she earns around RM50 a day, making it difficult to fund her son's studies. 'Besides Syimir, I still have three younger children in primary school and one more studying at Politeknik Kulim in Kedah. I'm thankful his story caught public attention after it was reported by local media late last month. 'Since then, several individuals and NGOs have come forward with support, helping ease the financial strain of preparing for his further studies,' she said.

PM extends aid to struggling single mother, student
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has presented a contribution to Melah Idris, a single mother living in poverty and suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. The contribution was handed over by the Prime Minister's political secretary, Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi, when he visited the 63-year-old mother of eight at her home in Kampung Padang, Kuantan. Ahmad Farhan said the senior citizen relied entirely on her children to cover kitchen expenses and utility bills. "Her house is in a poor condition, with the bedroom floor already rotting and no longer safe to live in. "Yet, her face remains calm, as if she keeps all her suffering deep inside so as not to burden anyone. "On behalf of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, I am presenting a small contribution and will look into the most appropriate form of assistance for her, not only in terms of financial aid but also in ensuring a safer place for her to live," he said in a Facebook post shared by the prime minister today. In the same post, Ahmad Farhan expressed hope that no citizen would be left to suffer in silence without receiving proper assistance. In Bachok, Kelantan, PKR central leadership council member Prof Dr Maszlee Malik extended aid from the prime minister to Muhammad Syimir Amar AlMuktar, 18, an underprivileged student from Kampung Pengkalan Chengal, Perupok.
