Replace matriculation, STPM with standardised test, government urged
Kuasa chief executive Praba Ganesan says Malaysia should adopt a single examination to replace the current system of two different pre-university syllabi and tests comprising STPM and matriculation for entry into public university. ― Picture by Choo Choy May
“More successful matriculation students will win spots, and with a 60 per cent bump in matriculation intake, there'll be more high-scoring matriculation leavers, meaning competition for key courses like medicine, dentistry and law will heat up. Public perception that non-Malays rarely get their desired courses at public universities, despite scoring excellent results, also contributes to their shift to private education.
“Maybe if the syllabus and examinations are the same, people won't lobby for matriculation spots other than for the boarding school feel,” said Praba. Malacca Action Group for Parents in Education chairman Mak Chee Kin also called for a single standardised test for students who want to enter public university.
