KUALA NERUS – The Education Ministry has given autonomy to Form 6 college principals to conduct the student recruitment process with immediate effect.

Minister Fadhlina Sidek said this move will allow the principals to make direct offers to potential students who need the opportunity to continue their studies without having to wait for an offer from the ministry, unlike in previous years.

“The principals can find Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia school leavers who have not been given a place for higher studies without having to wait for an offer from the ministry,” she told reporters after the opening of the Pewaris Generasi Madani gathering at SMK Sains Sultan Mahmud here today.

At the event, Fadhlina also handed over laptops sponsored by Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd to the school’s eight top Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia examination students in 2022.

In addition, Fadhlina said the granting of autonomy also guarantees wider access to B40 students to continue their studies in Form 6. – Bernama, July 23, 2023
