KUALA LUMPUR: 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.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the decision, which the Cabinet agreed to at a meeting on Friday , would not affect the existing quota for Bumiputera students.He said details of the government's bold decision to recognise the excellence of students while ensuring fairness in the country's education system would be announced by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek tomorrow.
"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.
