The Education Ministry is planning to introduce cost-of-living allowances for Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) students to increase interest in the program. Deputy Minister Wong Kah Woh mentioned that allowances for Form Six senior assistant teachers and a higher per capita grant for STPM subjects are also being considered. These initiatives are part of the Form Six Education Development Plan 2024–2030, which aims to enhance the education system and make it more attractive for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) holders. Wong emphasized the ministry’s commitment to improving facilities, employability of STPM graduates, and teacher professionalism. However, he noted that these proposals are still in the initial stages.
