Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2023 is set to take place much earlier than the previous year, starting from 5 December 2023.
For reference, SPM 2022 was held from 30 January to 15 March this year due to the late start to the academic calendar since the Covid-19 pandemic.
While no official statement has been issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE), the whole schedule of SPM 2023 was recently published on the official website of MOE’s Education Board on Friday (18 August).
Accordingly, as reported by Astro Awani, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek elaborated that an official statement will be released soon, though she neither confirm nor deny the SPM 2023 schedule published on the aforementioned site.
