Fadhlina Sidek: Nearly 1,800 teachers not hired permanently because they failed key exam

In a recent parliamentary disclosure, the Ministry of Education reported that 1,799 probationary education service officers failed the Mind Transformation Programme (PTM) comprehension assessment, hindering their confirmation as permanent teachers.

As of September 30, 2026, out of 7,723 officers undergoing the confirmation process, 1,832 had not met the required criteria.

The Ministry, in collaboration with the Education Service Commission and other stakeholders, is committed to addressing these issues while prioritizing teacher welfare and national educational needs.

PARLIAMENT — A total of 1,799 education service officers (PPP) currently undergoing their probationary period have failed the prescribed examination for teachers, the Ministry of Education revealed in a written reply issued yesterday.

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said failure in the comprehension assessment under the Mind Transformation Programme (Program Transformasi Minda or PTM) was the primary factor preventing these teachers from securing permanent service confirmation.

“As of September 30, 2026, a total of 7,723 education officers were in the process of obtaining confirmation in service, but 1,832 PPPs have yet to meet one or more established confirmation criteria,” the reply said.

The 1,799 candidates who failed the PTM assessment accounted for the overwhelming majority of those whose confirmation was delayed.

Three officers had their probationary period extended with a penalty, 29 had their probationary period extended without penalty, and one officer had their probationary status frozen.

Fadhlina said the ministry would continue to work closely with the Education Service Commission (SPP) and key stakeholders to expedite unresolved confirmation cases, pledging that teacher welfare and national educational needs would remain a priority.

回复称：“截至2026年9月30日，共有7723名教育官员正在办理入职确认手续，但其中1832名公务员尚未满足一项或多项既定的确认标准。”

1799 名未通过 PTM 评估的候选人占确认程序被延迟确认的绝大多数。
