Identifying factors that affected student enrolment in Additional Mathematics for urban areas of Kuantan district

The skilful and qualified Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforces are expected to be in high demand in the 21st digital economy. In Malaysia public education system, the principal key to STEM education is Additional Mathematics. However, the statistics depicted that the nu...
