This was to address a recent report by the Statistics Department which showed 72.1% of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia school leavers do not want to pursue their studies, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.
“I have instructed ASM, which is under my ministry, to come up with its own research to find out the real numbers as well as the necessary measures to address the issue. Earlier this month, the Statistics Department released a report stating that about 390,000 out of 560,000 SPM candidates, or 72.1%, preferred to join the workforce after the examination. Only 170,000 students were keen to pursue their studies.
Meanwhile, Dr Adham said that participation in the Keluarga Malaysia National Science Week had exceeded the ministry’s expectations and target of 1.5 million entries, which was set when the programme was launched on April 1.
