Abstract
This conceptual paper focuses on the issue of students’ motivation in pursuing their education after Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. SPM is an examination system that determines students’ path after completing their studies at the secondary level and a starting point of continuing their studies at the higher education level in Malaysia. It is an exam organised by the Malaysian Examinations Board and categorised as the final test of upper secondary education. Students with good SPM results have more choices and can pursue their tertiary education easily. The Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) expressed concern when faced with the challenge of producing skilled workers because nowadays many school leavers are more interested in not continuing their studies. Some claim that students can do better in life even without a bachelor's degree. Parents and teachers need to address this issue as soon as possible and remind students of the importance of education to support their future. Parents should ensure that their children understand the importance of education and show appreciation for knowledge. Teachers should also ensure that their students understand the consequences of their actions and the importance of having a quality education because life is more demanding in the future.
