Published by SchoolAdvisor | Mar 15, 2013
According to Director-General of Education Tan Sri Abdul Ghafar Mahmud, Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) candidates are permitted to take two additional subjects regardless of the implementation of the 10-subject limit since 2010. This means that students can take a maximum of 12 subjects for SPM.He was clarifying Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's recent statement saying that the 10-subject limit for SPM students remained unchanged.
SPM students are required to take six core subjects, namely Bahasa Melayu, English, History, Mathematics, Science, and Islamic Studies or Moral Education.The remaining can be made up of elective subjects including Chinese Literature, Tamil Literature, Syariah Islamiah Studies, Al-Quran and Al-Sunnah Studies, Islamic Tasawwur, and Visual Art Studies.
