Compulsory secondary education must be backed by supportive ecosystem


THE MCA Education Consultative Committee notes the Education Ministry’s (MOE) move to table the Education (Amendment) Bill 2025 to make secondary education compulsory in Malaysia.

This is a vital step towards reducing school absenteeism and early school leavers, enhancing educational attainment, improving literacy, and strengthening Malaysia’s long-term human capital development.
