MALAYSIA is set to perform better in international assessments with the Education Ministry focusing on more structured and systematic preparation for students.
Its director-general Azman Adnan said these preparatory programmes and activities will be planned and monitored by the ministry’s International Benchmarking Achievement Strategic Planning Committee (JPSPPA), as global assessments like the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) are important benchmarks in assessing the effectiveness of the country’s education system.
