Question

## Malaysia's Education Ministry Affirms Abolition of UPSR and PT3 Due to Irrelevance and Shift Towards Holistic Assessment

Accepted Answer

The Ministry of Education (MOE) has firmly stated that the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) examinations are no longer relevant for assessing students' academic performance. This stance underpins the decision to maintain their abolition, with the ministry instead prioritizing the strengthening of the School-Based Assessment (PBS) system. The MOE views PBS as a more comprehensive and holistic approach that aligns with global educational trends and the National Education Philosophy.
