THESE Form Five students have had to go through the longest learning session – almost 14 months, and with only four months of in-person lessons – because the Covid-19 pandemic forced schools to close and students to learn online.

They will also sit the SPM exam without having going through the usual trial exam that would have helped them gauge their grasp of the syllabus.   

These candidates, as well as those for the Sijil Vokasional Malaysia (SVM) and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM), will sit the exams at 3,310 nationwide centres set up to cope with new procedures during the pandemic. - February 22, 2021.
