SHAH ALAM (Jan 12): The study on the need to revive the Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) and Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examinations will be conducted this year, with the findings to be presented to the Cabinet as soon as possible. As such, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the Ministry of Education (MOE) called on all quarters to give the ministry some time to carry out a comprehensive study on the matter, including consultations with key stakeholders, particularly parents. Last week, Fadhlina said the MOE had reactivated the MPPK to study the need to revive the two examinations. UPSR was abolished in 2021, followed by PT3 in 2022, and both were replaced with School-Based Assessment. The MOE is also finalising the Sekolah Sejahtera Sekolah Selamat manual to be shared with parents and the public, she said.
