Nga Welcomes Govt Move To Guarantee Matriculation Placement For 10A SPM Students
KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- DAP National Deputy Chairman Nga Kor Ming has welcomed the Cabinet's decision to guarantee matriculation programme placements for all students who achieved 10As and above in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, as announced by the Ministry of Education (MOE) yesterday. He said the decision reflects the MADANI Government's commitment towards meritocracy, equal opportunity, appreciation of local talents and the empowerment of young Malaysians in pursuing quality education. 'This inclusive policy, which applies regardless of race or background, recognises the outstanding efforts of our top-performing students. 'The government is sending a clear message that academic excellence will be rewarded fairly and consistently and every Malaysian is being appreciated,' Nga said in a statement today. The Housing and Local Government Minister added that the decision aligns with the commitment made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last year and strengthens public confidence in the national education system. He expressed that the new policy ensures that no outstanding student is left behind and respects the government's assurance that the existing Bumiputera quota system for matriculation will remain intact, ensuring a balanced and inclusive approach. 'DAP remains committed to promoting policies that celebrate academic achievement while also advancing social equity. We believe that education is the greatest empowerment and tool towards building a fairer, more progressive and educated nation,' he said. Yesterday, MOE issued a statement saying all students who obtained 10As and above in last year's SPM examination and applied for the Matriculation Programme will be offered places, regardless of race or background. MOE said the decision was agreed upon at the Cabinet Meeting held earlier in the day.
