10-subject cap for SPM from next year

Beginning next year, students sitting for SPM will only be allowed to take a maximum of 10 subjects.

Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said this was because 90% of all students took a maximum of 10 subjects or less.

“We want to streamline and also make it easier when it comes to giving out scholarships,” he told reporters on Thursday after laying the foundation stone for the new Tunku Kurshiah College.

He added the grading system for the examination will also be improvised to better reflect the academic achievements of students.
