EDUCATION Minister Fadhlina Sidek has advised Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2022 candidates ineligible to receive a certificate to resit the subjects they failed. 

“Don’t worry if you haven’t qualified, you can resit for the SPM examination at any time,” she said when asked to comment on the future of candidates who did not receive a certificate. 

She said there was an overall improvement in the SPM 2022 results as the number of those eligible to get a certificate increased to 91.6%. 

“It has exceeded 90% for the very first time. Only 8.4% are not eligible to get the certificate,” she said. 

Fadhlina added that the Education Ministry was examining the full report and would share the actual number of absentees during the SPM 2022 examination. 

“It is being looked into because many people want to know why they (candidates) did not attend (the examinations) as the reasons are not the same for every state,” she said. – Bernama, June 15, 2023.
