Secondary School Education

Secondary schooling represents the second tier of formal education, a stage of academic development where the foundation developed at the primary level is built upon and strengthened in preparation for tertiary or vocational training.

This level of schooling in Malaysia is regulated by the Ministry of Education. A standardised curriculum ensures consistency in learning and standards. Progress is measured at different levels by a series of public examinations. Secondary schooling typically starts at the age of thirteen and lasts for a duration of six years. Students in transition from primary to secondary schooling may require registration, depending on their primary education.

Parents may also request to transfer their children to other schools if they have valid reasons.
