90,000 failed SPM maths, 52,000 failed English, says NGO
PETALING JAYA: Close to 90,000 candidates who sat for last year’s SPM exam failed Mathematics while over 52,000 did not pass English, according to an analysis of the results conducted by NGO Untuk Malaysia.
Of the 373,974 candidates who sat for the SPM last year, a total of 89,752 candidates (24.3%) failed Mathematics and 52,674 candidates (14.3%) did not pass English.
“This analysis was conducted based on the SPM 2022 examination results analysis report published by the Malaysian Examination Board (LPM) and the announcement of the results by the education director-general on the education ministry’s Facebook page on June 8,” Untuk Malaysia said.
It added that 113,759 candidates achieved grade A, A+ or A- in Mathematics, and 91,351 candidates achieved the same in English, which represented 30.8% and 24.8% of the total candidates, respectively.
For other core subjects, Untuk Malaysia reported that 27,621 candidates failed Science (compared with 56,624 who obtained grade A or A+ or A-); 23,358 candidates failed History (94,402 with grade A or A+ or A-); 9,642 candidates failed Bahasa Malaysia, (118,297 with grade A or A+ or A-); and 24,304 candidates failed Islamic Education (69,005 with grade A or A+ or A-).
Overall, Untuk Malaysia reported that 42.9% of the candidates, or 160,435 students, failed at least one subject.
A study by the NGO on school dropouts published in January reported that 140,474 candidates failed to obtain their SPM certificates after failing in Bahasa Melayu or History from 2019 to 2021.
The three-year data was taken from SPM results analysis prepared by the LPM, which is the main oversight body for national examinations.
Untuk Malaysia also reported that for the 2022 SPM exam, 33,906 candidates did not get their certificate as they failed the Bahasa Malaysia or History paper.
A total of 45,514 candidates did not receive their SPM certificate in 2021.

77% Of SPM Candidates Fail Or Receive Grade E In 2022 Results
JUNE 17, 2023
Of the 373,974 candidates who sat for the exam, only 10,109 received straight As, 2.7% of the total candidates.
The high percentage of candidates who received a Grade E or failed has raised concerns about the education system in Malaysia.
Many call on the Ministry of Education to be more transparent about the minimum passing marks for all SPM subjects and the mark percentage required to qualify for an A+ or an A.
Calls For Transparency From The Ministry Of Education
Critics argue that having many citizens with higher intellectual and academic training is crucial for developing the economy and society.
The results also highlight the need for more examinations to monitor future citizens’ progress in their academic training.
The abolishment of UPSR and PMR exams has also come under scrutiny, with many suggesting that more public examinations are needed to gauge how students progress throughout their academic journey.
The Ministry of Education has yet to respond to these concerns, but many are calling for immediate action to address the issues raised by the 2022 SPM results.
One possible solution that has been suggested is to simplify the curriculum and focus on core skills such as reading, spelling, and arithmetic in the early years of primary school.
This approach could help ensure students have a strong foundation in these essential skills before moving on to more complex subjects.
Addressing The Root Causes: Economic, Social, And Linguistic Factors
However, it’s important to note that other factors may contribute to these subjects’ high failure rates.
For example, economic and social factors may affect students’ ability to succeed in school.
Additionally, cultural or linguistic barriers may make it difficult for some students to grasp the material.
Despite these challenges, many educators and policymakers are working to find solutions to improve the education system in Malaysia and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
This includes efforts to provide more support for struggling students, improve teacher training, and develop new approaches to teaching and learning.
In Malaysia, educational disparities persist, affecting the prospects of needy students preparing for the SPM examination. The statistics are compelling, illustrating the extent of this inequality and emphasizing the profound impact it has on the long-term opportunities available to these students. The need for intervention and support is evident.
