The Parent Action Group for Education says it will be unfair to conduct them in 2020 as schools would have closed for at least six weeks. FMTNews MCO SPM

The Parent Action Group for Education says students should be allowed to sit for their exams next year, and universities can allow them to apply for entry later.

“The government can push the exams to next year and universities can allow those who have completed their STPM to apply for entry later next year,” its chairman, Nor Azimah Abdul Rahim, said. For those sitting for their PT3 examination, Nor Azimah said the education ministry may need to rethink the format.

She said the best way is to extend educational hours and programmes over RTM1. At present, there are a few programmes but some are held for only an hour at 9am and another hour at 1pm.
