There are over 2500 schools in Malaysia with less than 150 students that are considered Small and Remote Schools (SKM). These schools make up 90% of schools in remote areas and face challenges like lack of resources, facilities, and trained teachers. Due to small class sizes, SKM schools often implement combined classrooms of students from different grade levels. Teachers in these combined classrooms must be sensitive to each student's individual abilities and needs.
