Dr Khair who is holding a copy of the 2016 SPM analysis, says the improvement in rural areas was due to dedicated teachers.
STUDENTS who sat for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) last year did better overall compared with 2015, even when fewer of them scored straight As.
Education director-general Tan Sri Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof said 8,647 or 2.13% of the 434,535 students obtained A+, A or A- in all of their subjects, which is a slight drop compared with 2015, where 9,721 or 2.38% scored the same results.
