JOHOR BARU: SPM 2021 candidates who missed the first session of the examination after being tested positive for Covid-19 or having to undergo quarantine can sit for the second session of the exam in April this year, says Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin.

He added that students would only need to provide their MySejahtera notification, Covid-19 test results, and the school principal letter of approval.

"So those who missed their exam, do not worry, do not be stressed, they can always sit for the second session in April," he said.

He said this to reporters after conducting a surprise visit to SMK Kota Masai 2, here on Tuesday (March 2).
