The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2020 examinations are slated for Feb 22. The reactions from students and parents are mixed as most want the exams completed so students can continue their educational journey without further delays.
However many are concerned with the impact of the pandemic on both exam preparation and safety of students, parents, and those involved in the conduct of the exams especially in light of the recent rise in the number of Covid cases.
The Education Ministry deserves praise for doing its best in the face of an unprecedented pandemic but there is a need to have very clear SOPs and contingency plans to deal with public examinations in these challenging circumstances.
