Rebrand of Form 6

Malaysia still retain the education system inherited from the British. They have the  equivalent of 'O' level in the 11 year of schooling. Then the students will enter Form 6 for 2 years. It will be the lower 6 and Upper 6. Then they will sit for the A level equivalent known locally as STP.

The current education minister and DPM had made the announcement to rebrand Form Six and "to upgrade inline with the pre-U education. Part of the approach is to place form 6 at a special study center away from the other, ... "they are more matured in their thinking".

Currently, there are 83,000 form 6 and 26,000 matriculation students.

The minister is also mentioning that form six as one of the best way to university. It is never intended that matriculation is better as the result had proven that some of the form 6 can perform better in the university performance.

The other change will be the introduction of 3 semester system for form 6.
