BUKIT MERTAJAM: The Education Ministry has decided to abolish the Ministry of Education Malaysia Training Management System (SPLKPM) to reduce teachers' workload.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek (pic) said the decision was made after the ministry's ongoing assessment of teachers' workloads and feedback from educators.
"Today, the Ministry of Education announced that the system has been abolished because it directly affects the welfare of teachers and their workload,” she said in a press conference at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Sheikh Tahir Jalaluddin school project handover ceremony here on Sunday (Dec 14).
Fadhlina said the system was often a topic of discussion among teachers, who wanted to ensure they were not bound by its requirements to the point of disrupting the focus on teaching and learning in the classroom.
According to her, the abolition of the system was intended to give teachers the space to focus fully on the classroom, especially ahead of the implementation of the new curriculum and education development plan scheduled for next year. – Bernama
