PUTRAJAYA - The current pre-university management system for Form Six students will continue to be overseen by the Ministry of Education (MOE) for the time being, to ensure the smooth operation of the existing framework, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the decision was made after taking into account several factors, including student management matters and teacher service schemes.
"For now, I have decided that the Sixth Form pre-university system will remain under the MOE," he said during a meeting with MOE staff today.
Also present were Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar and Public Service director-general Tan Sri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz.
Previously, Anwar was reported to have announced that the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) would fully take over the pre-university system, covering both Sixth Form and Matriculation programmes, starting next year. - BERNAMA
