AT last the SPM results are out. After spending almost 11 years in school, you have finally got your results. This is proof that you have completed your primary and secondary education in Malaysia. The SPM is a very important examination in your life, believe it or not! When you apply for a job, you have to produce your SPM.  When you apply for a scholarship, you need to show your SPM results. When you want to join a college/university, you need the SPM result slip. That is why they say that SPM is your passport. If you did not sit for the SPM in 2022 (for whatever reasons!) or you didn’t do very well in your SPM, it is better for you to re-sit for the SPM. You have three options.

IT IS a dream for many students to have a university qualification.  It is also a pride to say that you have a Bachelors degree, a Masters degree or a Ph.D. Many would aspire to have a few alphabets behind their name such as B.A, LLB, B.Sc, etc. Is it difficult to get a university degree? When you have completed your SPM or secondary education in Malaysia, you need a Pre-U (Preparation for University) to enter the university. Traditionally, students sat for the STPM before applying to the university. The STPM is considered as a very challenging examination to Pass. Many students don’t want to study after their SPM. They want to explore easier options to get a degree. Why is there a sudden change among students? .

WHENEVER students say they want to be singers, dancers, musicians or actors, we think that they are not being practical. How can they earn a steady income? How can they support themselves? We often feel something should be wrong with them. Even when students study art and craft in school we always brand them as students who are not intelligent or those who are weak in their studies. Just because they don’t choose the careers that we choose, it doesn’t mean that they are wrong. There are among us students who have natural talents and would like to explore careers in creative studies. Studying for such courses in private colleges can be expensive.  Often not many scholarships are available for creative studies. This week let us explore courses in creative studies offered by Aswara.
