MOE hopeful of finishing school syllabus in time for major exams

Jun 11, 2020

The Education Ministry is optimistic that schools will have enough time to finish this year’s syllabus.

It says the schedule will be restructured once schools reopen in stages, as it first needs to assess the situation once students return to the classroom.

This, after it was announced yesterday that schools will start reopening on June 24th, starting with those who are taking public exams like SPM and STPM.

This figure is also expected to rise, now that travel restrictions have been eased further under the RMCO.
