GPN

Azman Adnan said the achievement of the 2023 SPM candidates was better with them recording a National Average Grade (GPN) of 4.60.

Nor Zamani said a total of 55.29 per cent of the candidates obtained at least a pass in all subjects.

Radzi said the GPN was 4.86 in 2019, 4.89 in 2018, 4.90 in 2017 and 5.05 in 2016.

Only if the GPN index fell by more than three percent could it be considered a problem and required further monitoring and improvement, the Education Minister says.

443,407 candidates sat for the UPSR this year and those scoring A Grade for all subjects increased by 0.76 per cent from 7.89 per cent in 2014 to 8.65 per cent this year.

The SPM 2012 saw 13,721 candidates scored full A's, 481 straight A scorers. However, the GPN declined marginally to 5.08.
