Reintroducing UPSR may hinder pupils' participation in non-academic fields, says Education Ministry


PUTRAJAYA: Preliminary findings from engagement sessions held by the Education Ministry indicate that stakeholders feel that the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) should not be reintroduced at this point as it would hinder students from being active in non-academic fields.

Education director-general Datuk Pkharuddin Ghazali said the findings from the engagement sessions showed that Malaysians wanted value-based education to be prioritised.
