“YOU are a special batch” is what we – Standard-Based Curriculum for Secondary Schools (KSSM) lab rats – often hear. The KSSM is a new curriculum that was first implemented in the year 2017, replacing the Integrated Secondary School Curriculum (KBSM) that officially met its end early this year when the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2020 candidates sat for their examinations.
