KUALA LUMPUR – An education expert has warned that the worrying number of dropouts from the last Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations, involving a total of 75,455 candidates, may become a trend every year if the problem is not addressed effectively.

Prof Abdul Rasid Jamian, director of the Centre for Pedagogical Research and Innovation, stressed that such repeated results, no matter how poor they are, can lead to society becoming habituated to them, and, worse still, become an accepted part of our national culture.

He said that the two years of remote studying at home due to the restricted movements and lockdowns brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic have resulted in students wallowing in their “comfort zone” as they were not required to physically attend school.
