New UPSR format sees big drop in straight A scorers


We did it: The 11 pupils from SK Bukit Rahman Putra who scored straight As posing at their school.

PUTRAJAYA: This year’s Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) results which saw fewer candidates scoring straight As, cannot be compared with last year’s due to the change in format.

Education director-general Tan Sri Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof said this year’s UPSR candidates were the first batch who used the new KSSR (Primary School Standard Curriculum) and went through the PBS (School-based Assessment),” he said when announcing the UPSR 2016 results analysis here yesterday.
