“As a result, the education policy that does not include exams for Year 6 and Form 3 and only has exams in Form 5 must be revamped,” he said during his speech before officiating the 78th MIC General Assembly at the Ideal Convention Centre here. MIC president Tan Sri S. A. Vigneswaran was also present.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid said that education policies should remain consistent and not change despite changes in government and leadership to prevent students from becoming test subjects. In addition, he said the issue of students dropping out without registering for or sitting for the SPM had also raised concerns amid the country’s effort to achieve developed nation status.
