: The government has given an assurance that all Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia leavers who obtained 10As or more, regardless of race and region, will be offered the opportunity to further their studies at the Matriculation level starting this year.
“This bold decision does not imply that we have solved the issue of fairness in education, there must be a willingness from the ministry, the private sector, non-governmental organisations, scholars and academia to accept the reality that much more needs to be done to ensure opportunities for children from the urban poor, rural or interior areas.
Anwar said the government always strived to improve access to and the quality of national education as well as ensure that the Bumiputera quota system and the principle of meritocracy for the benefit of students is preserved. According to the Education Ministry portal, the matriculation programme was established in 1998 as a preparatory programme for Bumiputers students to qualify to further their studies at the bachelor’s degree level in the fields of science, technology and professional arts at domestic and foreign institutions of higher education .
