We’re lost without UPSR, say Sarawak teachers


PETALING JAYA: Teachers in Sarawak are looking forward to having an assessment exam akin to the now defunct Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), says Sarawak Native Teachers’ Association president Zulkiflee Sebli.

The union, which has more than 5,000 members teaching in national schools in Sarawak, said that the absence of such an assessment exam made it difficult to assess students or analyse the academic performance of pupils at the primary level.
