Perak Distributes 63,303 SPM Reference Books To Boost Student Performance

IPOH, April 6 (Bernama) -- The Perak state government is continuing its 2026 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) additional reference book initiative under the Cikgu Saarani Tuition Programme (TCS), distributing 63,303 copies to students statewide this year.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said the initiative, led by Yayasan Perak in collaboration with the Perak State Education Department, targets students with the potential to pass, helping them master core subjects through structured, concise and effective learning materials.

“This year’s distribution, up from over 53,000 copies last year with an allocation of around RM1 million, reflects the state government’s ongoing commitment to advancing education,” he said at a media briefing during the book handover at Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan today.

For the first time, the initiative also includes potential candidates from Sekolah Menengah Tahfiz Darul Ridzuan and Sekolah Menengah Agama Rakyat under the Perak Islamic Religious Department.

The reference books were developed by experienced educators based on an analysis of students’ needs, emphasising concept mastery and exam answering techniques.

Saarani added that the state government will continue supporting educational initiatives through Yayasan Perak and the State Education Department to positively impact student achievement and the development of the state’s human capital.
