Sarawak’s proposed Year 6 assessment ‘a test of schools too’

Sarawak deputy minister Dr Annuar Rapaee said there should also be an assessment test at around Year 3.

Dr Annuar Rapaee said the proposed assessment examination would allow the ministry to identify and help schools in need of support. “If we don’t assess, these schools will stay the same. We won’t know how to improve these schools,” he told FMT. Annuar, who is state deputy education minister, said assessments should be about determining whether pupils had reached the expected milestones for their age.

“It encourages ceremonies announcing how many As and Bs, or something like that,” he said, adding that doing so created unnecessary pressure on the parents, students and the school to achieve good results.
