JOHOR BARU, Feb 12 — The Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination will continue as scheduled, with standard operating procedures (SOP) in place to curb the spread of Covid-19 among students and teachers, says Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin.

He said although there was a significant increase in new Covid-19 cases, the percentage of patients involving categories four and five was small.

“The Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) is committed to ensuring that schools operate in a smooth, orderly and safe manner, by ensuring that all the SOPs set continue to be complied with.

“This commitment is made taking into account the smooth implementation of SPM 2020 in February last year, and we also already have a complete SOP in place for it,” he told reporters after an engagement session with educators and the Kota Iskandar Parents and Teachers Association (PIBG) here today.
