Still some tests at PMR level

PETALING JAYA: School-based assessments are expected to replace Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) this year, but there will still be centralised tests for some subjects.

The National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) said this decision came after the union proposed to the Education Ministry in a meeting last month to adopt a “soft landing” approach to the school-based assessment system.
