At the upper secondary level, students are offered a range of subjects, including core subjects such as Malay language, English language, mathematics, and science, as well as elective subjects, such as economics, business studies, and computer science. Students also have the opportunity to pursue vocational and technical education, which provides them with practical skills and training in areas such as engineering, agriculture, and hospitality.
In addition to academic pursuits, Malaysian schools place a strong emphasis on co-curricular activities, such as sports, games, and uniformed groups. These activities aim to develop students' physical, emotional, and social well-being, as well as their leadership and teamwork skills.
After completing six years of primary education, students proceed to lower secondary school, where they are exposed to a more diverse range of subjects, including science, mathematics, geography, and history. The lower secondary education curriculum aims to provide students with a broad-based education, preparing them for the challenges of upper secondary school.
