Students losing a chance at higher education


THE Malaysian Examinations Council (MPM) requires students seeking admission into public universities to sit for the Malaysian University English Test (MUET). I applaud MPM’s efforts in recent years to set up more sessions of MUET on Demand which releases results within three weeks rather than the usual three months. However, MPM is not responding to the unique situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

On June 27, MPM said on its official Facebook page that MUET on Demand sessions scheduled for June 20 and July 3 will be postponed to Sept 25.
