UPSR science questions too challenging


I RECENTLY reviewed the UPSR Science 2016 Paper 1 and was utterly shocked by the difficult questions purposely created for our 12-year-olds. Our Science and Mathematic papers are victims of our obsession towards the debatable Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) rankings.

Supposedly by training the students to answer questions filled with graphs, diagrams and applied knowledge, our rankings would improve.
