KUALA NERUS: The education ministry has given autonomy to Form 6 college principals to conduct the student recruitment process with immediate effect.

Minister Fadhlina Sidek said this move will allow the principals to make direct offers to potential students who need the opportunity to continue their studies, without having to wait for an offer from the ministry as in previous years.

“The principals can find Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) school leavers who have not been given a place for higher studies without having to wait for an offer from the ministry,” she told reporters after the opening of the Pewaris Generasi Madani gathering at Sekolah Menengah Sains Sultan Mahmud here today.
