The abolition of the Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) and the Form Three Assessment (PT3) in the national education system is carried out to ensure that school-based assessments (PBS) can be implemented effectively.
Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin said the implementation of PBS was not new as it already started in 2011. However, he added, teachers still focused too much on examinations to ensure students obtain excellent results.
He said at the Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2013-2025: Education Transformation Forum, themed "Satu Pengalaman Kolektif, Tanggungjawab Bersama" (One Collective Experience, Shared Responsibility) here today.
Radzi said the abolition of UPSR and PT3 was also to ensure that teachers could implement teaching and learning (PdP) in a more creative and innovative way to ensure a more enjoyable learning environment.
