PETALING JAYA: The possible return of the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) examinations has found support among parents who say the absence of major exams have left students without a sense of urgency and motivation in studies. He said the reintroduction of the UPSR and PT3 exams must be done strategically. This comes as Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the UPSR and PT3 exams could be back on the cards soon. Procurement manager Wee Chong Wei, 33, said bringing back the UPSR and PT3 examinations can keep children better occupied. “If the ministry can make improvements to the current system without implementing exams, then it would work too,” she said.
