Impact on learning post-UPSR removal

AT its recent delegates conference in Shah Alam, Selangor, the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) backed the government’s decision to not revive the Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) for Year Six pupils.

Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek had on Oct 28 affirmed the Education Ministry’s stance against reviving the UPSR despite calls, especially from parents, to use it as a benchmark for their children’s achievements at the primary school level.
