KUALA LUMPUR: With the centralised Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination being abolished, primary school pupils’ progress will still be evaluated but through a school-based assessment before they proceed to secondary school.

Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin said scrapping the UPSR does not mean Year Six pupils will not be evaluated.
