THE Education Ministry (MOE) is inviting the public to apply to be invigilators for the 2023 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations for the first time.

The ministry made the announcement in a post on its Facebook page today, stating that applications are open from September 12 until October 31 and interested persons may submit their application forms to the state education director at the respective State Education Departments.

“Successful applicants shortlisted as volunteer candidates will be called for interviews at the nearby district education office,” the ministry added.

Applicants must be Malaysian citizens aged 18 to 65, have at least an SPM qualification or its equivalent that is recognised by the government, have no criminal record or court action, and possess their own transport.

MOE said the initiative is among the seven measures introduced to reduce the workload of teachers, as announced by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek on February 17.

Further information can be obtained at the respective state education departments, or by emailing the Examination Board at [email protected]. – Bernama, September 17, 2023.
