KUALA LUMPUR: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has expressed his congratulations to Professor Datuk Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman for being named the Tokoh Akademik Negara (National Academic Figure) for 2023.
PETALING JAYA: Sarawak’s plan to develop a statewide examination for its Year Six pupils in place of the abolished Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah shows that there are gaps in the current school-based assessment system, say parents.
“Many argue that there is no indicator of their kids’ progress and many teachers are still not professional enough to give a holistic and fair assessment. There have been cases of biased assessments too. However, instead of reviving UPSR or PT3, which Mak said could have repercussions, he suggested improvising the present system by incorporating semester-style tests or exams instead.St Xavier’s Institution board of governors chairman Victor Tan said having school-based assessments in lieu of the UPSR is good enough, but clear guidelines from the Education Ministry are lacking.
“But the Education Ministry must give very good guidelines that are very clear as different people will have different interpretations,” he said. Azimah added that Sarawak, in developing its own Year 6 assessment exams, should avoid the same pitfalls of “teachers teaching for the test” rather than educating.
