NUTP renews calls to abolish UPSR

PETALING JAYA: The National Union of the Teaching Profession Peninsular Malaysia (NUTP) has renewed calls for the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) to be abolished, as part of an effort to move away from an exam-oriented education system.

Its secretary-general, Harry Tan (pic), said abolishing the primary school level assessment test could lighten the burden and stress on pupils.
