The Education Ministry has decided to abolish its Training Management System (SPLKPM) as part of ongoing efforts to reduce teachers’ workload.
SPLKPM has been the official digital platform used by teachers and education personnel to manage, record and monitor their continuing professional development (CPD) or in-service training (LDP) activities. The system includes course registration, recording of training hours, issuance of digital certificates and access to e-learning modules.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the decision was made following an assessment of teachers’ workload and feedback from educators, according to a Bernama report.
Speaking to reporters after an event in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, Fadhlina said SPLKPM had frequently been raised as a concern among teachers, who felt that the system’s requirements were affecting their ability to focus on core teaching duties.
She said abolishing the platform would allow teachers to better concentrate on classroom teaching, particularly as the ministry prepares for the implementation of a new curriculum and education development plan scheduled for next year.
Fadhlina added that the ministry remains committed to identifying and implementing measures to consistently reduce administrative burdens on teachers in order to improve the overall quality of national education.
