PUTRAJAYA: The Unified Examination Certificate Task Force (PPDUEC) has sought for the postponement of submitting its final report to the government until the end of the month, said Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik (pix).
He said although the report was supposed to have been completed in July, the PPDUEC still needed to carry out more engagement sessions with stakeholders including members of the Parliament (MPs).
“The PPDUEC has said that in order to produce a comprehensive study, it requires more engagement which will take time,“ he told a press conference after launching the Save Leukemia Kids Mission fund and the Leukemia Malaysia Fund here today.
According to the statement by the Education Ministry today, the PPDUEC still had another 20% of work that had to be carried out before it could present the report.
PPDUEC chairman Eddin Khoo was quoted in an interview with an online news portal on Wednesday as saying that it had sought the postponement due to several factors.
He said the task force would hold a meeting with MPs on Oct 16 to get their feedback on UEC before the final report was presented. — Bernama
