PETALING JAYA: All students who achieved 10As and above in the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination will be granted a place in the matriculation programme, regardless of race and background, says the Education Ministry.
In a statement Wednesday (June 25), the ministry said that the Cabinet had agreed that all students with 10As and above, including A-, would be given a place if they apply for the matriculation programme.
"This policy aligns with the announcement made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, last year.
"This decision is made to ensure that all outstanding students with 10As in SPM 2024 have the opportunity to further their education. At the same time, the existing Bumiputera quota system for the matriculation programme remains intact and unaffected," the ministry said.
It added that the Madani government will continue to enhance access to education for the benefit of all students, who are the future assets of the nation.
