PUTRAJAYA: Bahasa Melayu and History remain compulsory subjects for admission into public universities, despite the government opening conditional pathways for students from non-national education streams, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said today.
The minister said the cabinet decision involved selected courses for students from international schools, tahfiz institutions and Chinese private schools, but stressed that admission would still be based on Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) requirements.
"Overall, the government has considered this pathway for certain courses. But the basis remains SPM. To enter university, SPM remains compulsory, regardless of the education stream.
"Unless there is a specific condition involving History and Bahasa Melayu recognised by the Malaysian Examinations Board for certain courses," he told reporters after opening the Excellent Services Award Ceremony for the Polytechnic Department and Community College Education here today. - NST
