KUALA LUMPUR: The Rural and Regional Development Ministry (KKDW) will ensure that there is no dropping out among Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) holders, especially from rural communities to continue their education to a higher level.

Deputy Prime Minister and Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said this is because the ministry and its agencies are responsible for developing the socioeconomics of rural communities.
