PETALING JAYA: Parents and students have mixed feelings over the Education Ministry’s decision to abolish the Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) exam and cancel this year’s Form Three Assessment Examination (PT3).

While some parents were annoyed after having made early preparations to ensure their children fared well in these exams, others wondered if their children would be able to cope in Form One later with the abolition of the UPSR.

The sales and marketing manager was more concerned over how her 12-year-old daughter’s skills would be assessed without the UPSR as she believed school-based assessments alone were not sufficient. “They did whine about it being cancelled after putting in all that effort, but I think they are relieved because they don’t have to deal with that pressure anymore, ” she said.Another parent, who only wanted to be known as Pang, said abolishing the UPSR was the way forward but also wondered if the system itself was prepared for the change.
