Hazami claimed parents were taking the safer route to ensure that their children excel in the Sijil Pelajar Malaysia examination, but in the end, their children will suffer when they cannot realise their full potential. Meanwhile, National STEM Movement chairman Datuk Prof Dr Noraini Idris said she is not surprised with the statement made by Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik on Tuesday that the number of students taking STEM had declined over the years.
“The problem was not just about the students, but there are various factors, including the school management which does not seem to be confident of the ability of the teachers and students in STEM areas,” she told Bernama.
