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 noted that although the 2024 SPM results showed an encouraging improvement, the ministry remains committed to ongoing enhancements.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Aminuddin stated that the ministry will examine the quality of each subject during the post-mortem process and improve subjects with slight weaknesses. The focus will also be on assisting candidates sitting for the SPM this year. He shared these insights with reporters after observing the announcement of the 2024 SPM results at Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah (SAS).

Aminuddin added that the MOE would seek feedback to enhance the examination ecosystem, including providing counselling support to help students make informed decisions regarding their career paths. Feedback will be gathered on the appropriate timing for online result announcements and how to best support parents in making decisions following their children’s SPM results.

He emphasized that this year’s SPM results offer the ministry an opportunity to re-evaluate educational approaches to support the country’s development policies across various sectors. Questions such as whether to place greater emphasis on STEM or the arts stream will be considered to better prepare the younger generation as they enter the workforce.

Earlier, Aminuddin attended the announcement ceremony for 172 students of Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah who sat for the 2024 SPM. The prestigious school 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.
