SPM: 10 subjects max from 2010 onwards
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has made it official that all students will be able to take a maximum of only 10 subjects in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination from 2010 onwards The only exceptions would be students in the joint science and religious stream who will be allowed to take 11 subjects next year until the curriculum is streamlined by 2011, after which they too will be able to take a maximum of 10 subjects.
Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said the six core subjects in the SPM — Bahasa Melayu, English, Islamic Education or Moral Studies, History, Mathematics and Science — would remain the same. those in the science stream are exempted from taking Science so this means they take five core subjects and can choose five elective subjects
The same applies to those in the religious stream as they would be exempted from taking Islamic Education, while those in the joint science and religious stream were exempted from Islamic Education and Science.
Muhyiddin said the rationale behind the decision was to ensure students had more time for extra-curricular activities.
