KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Empowering school-based assessment (PBS) and classroom assessment (PBD) from this year is the best way to develop students holistically, says an expert.

Assoc Prof Dr Azlin Norhaini Mansor, senior lecturer at the Centre Department of Education Leadership and Policy of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) said this would cover various aspects including physical, spiritual and intellectual, compared to the existing method which focuses more on academic achievement through examinations.
