I would like to appeal to the Education Ministry not to allow students to drop core subjects, such as science, in their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination.

The SPM is the culmination of 11 years of schooling. It is the general education that a child needs to be equipped with basic knowledge. Dropping subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Additional mathematics is detrimental to their education.

True, some of the courses they take may not be of much use to them in later life, but there is such a thing as cross-learning. We accumulate knowledge through exposure to the many subjects we cover in schools.
