KOTA TINGGI: The Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), the country’s scientific advisory body, is conducting a study to provide solutions for the lack of interest among secondary school leavers to further their studies.

This was to address a recent report by the Statistics Department which showed 72.1% of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia school leavers do not want to pursue their studies, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.
