Education Department: Leaks and re-sits caused UPSR pupils to 'lose interest'

IPOH: Leaks and subsequent re-sits during this year's UPSR examinations caused some pupils to "lose interest", which was a factor in the decline of number of those scoring straight As in the state, said Perak education director Mohd Idris Ramli (pic).

Mohd Idris said he believed the leak in the examinations was a factor which affected the performances from the pupils in the state, with 2,847 straight-A pupils this year compared to last year's 3,249.
