Educationists and parents call for more inclusivity


PETALING JAYA: Allowing all students who scored 10As and above entry into the matriculation programme is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to ensure inclusivity, say educationists and parent groups.

They were responding to the announcement on Sunday by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that all SPM students, regardless of background, who scored 10As and above would get a placement in the matriculation programme starting this year.
