GENERAL Secretary General of MOE Datuk Ts. Dr. Aminuddin Hassim delivers the closing speech at the ASEAN Education Forum themed "Accelerating Innovative Strategies: Mitigating OOSCY Challenges," held in conjunction with the ASEAN Education and Higher Education Ministers' Roundtable 2025 (#EduRoundtables2025) here today. -- fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED By R. Vikneswaran LANGKAWI, June 18 (Bernama) -- Innovative strategies aimed at continuous adaptation and improvement in reducing the number of Out-of-School Children and Youth (OOSCY) are the main focus of the ASEAN Education Ministers' Roundtable (#EduRoundtables2025), which commenced today. Ministry of Education (MOE) secretary-general Datuk Dr Aminuddin Hassim said one of the key objectives of the two-day session is to adopt a Joint Statement on ASEAN OOSCY as an outcome document reflecting a shared understanding among ASEAN Ministers. 'The Joint Statement is proposed as a guiding framework to advance collective action in addressing critical challenges that have hindered progress in ensuring access to education. 'The Joint Statement would serve as a foundational commitment to strengthen education in the region over the next decade, focusing on issues such as the digital divide and limited access to technology; economic challenges and rising poverty; climate change, conflict and displacement; and inclusive policies for marginalised groups. 'For Malaysia, this will enhance collaboration with ASEAN countries and non-governmental organisations (NGO), especially in leveraging local knowledge, expertise, and networks to address OOSCY needs,' he told Bernama, here today. Aminuddin also expressed hope that the collaboration would improve educational cooperation within ASEAN to enhance access and ensure sustainable, context-appropriate interventions. Besides ASEAN member states and Timor Leste as an observer, the forum includes representatives from international organisations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO). 'The forum provides a dynamic platform for sharing innovative frameworks to tackle the critical issues faced by OOSCY, with an emphasis on equitable access to quality education and learning opportunities for marginalised groups, as highlighted in the SDG4-Education 2030 Agenda,' he said.

Inaccurate Jalur Gemilang: Action Pending Full Report From MOE Sec-gen
SEPANG, April 24 (Bernama) -- Appropriate action will be taken over the error in the display of the Jalur Gemilang in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Examination Results Analysis Report, which was distributed today, once the full report on the matter is received. Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said that Ministry of Education (MOE) secretary-general Datuk Dr Aminuddin Hassim has been instructed to prepare a comprehensive report on the incident. 'When we design the flag, it must be done correctly and with a full understanding of its essence. Issues arise when we attempt it without truly grasping the spirit it represents,' he told reporters during a roundtable session on the national good governance agenda, here, today. Also present at the session were Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki and Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chairman Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai. Shamsul Azri stressed that the design of the national flag should be crafted manually and reflect a deep personal understanding, rather than relying entirely on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. 'Why use AI? It is our national flag, make it yourself. Even when using AI, the results can be inaccurate. Sometimes the stripes appear wider in the middle, and that's just not right. Love our flag, love our country,' he said. He emphasised that any design involving national symbols must be handled with greater care. 'Anything we produce for public release, especially for media use, must go through a thorough review. Mistakes like these should never happen,' he said. He added that, while there are official guidelines for the use of the Jalur Gemilang, a lack of awareness or complacency often leads to such errors.

SPM 2024: Education Ministry to review each subject in detail, identify gaps
PUTRAJAYA, April 24 — 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. — Bernama
