KUALA LUMPUR: The education ministry aims to implement a new syllabus for Form 6 from semester 1 of Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) 2026.
In a written reply published on Parliament’s official website, the ministry said it was revising the Form 6 syllabus to keep pace with current development and to meet the country’s needs.
It is also to ensure that the syllabus aligns with the A-Level syllabus managed by Cambridge Assessment International Education, United Kingdom, as the STPM certificate has been recognised as equivalent to A-Level since 1982.
According to the ministry, the review is expected to be completed in 2025.
“Currently, a series of workshops and engagement sessions are being held,” it said in reply to a question from Zakri Hassan (PN-Kangar), who wanted to know when the government would change the Form 6 syllabus as it had not been revised for a long time and might no longer be relevant to current needs.
The education ministry said the focus of the review would include the relevance of the exam syllabus from the aspect of goals, objectives, topics, teaching time for each topic, learning outcomes and the assessment scheme for each term.
The ministry also takes into account comments and feedback from stakeholders, including Form 6 teachers, former STPM candidates and university lecturers in the engagement sessions. - FMT
