Matriculation spots for all top scorers


KUALA LUMPUR: The Education Ministry will offer places in the 2026/2027 Matriculation Pro­gramme session to all 6,717 candidates who obtained 10As and above in the 2025 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.

In a statement reported by Bernama yesterday, the ministry said the automatic offer is extended to all candidates who applied for the programme, irrespective of race or background.

“At the same time, the 90% bumiputra admission quota for the Matriculation Programme remains and is unaffected,” the statement read.
