Time to depart from exam culture


PUTRAJAYA: School-based assessments (PBS) will now be the new method used to assess students in schools as the Education Ministry moves away from the exam-oriented culture that has dominated the schooling system, says its minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin.

He said students will no longer sit for Form Three Assessment (PT3) from this year. Instead, their academic performance will be gauged on decentralised exams held at school at the end of every academic session.
