I NEVER thought I would see the day when we would have 50% fewer straight As students in UPSR compared to SPM. But it has happened. The performance of the candidates for UPSR 2016 was actually worse than their results for the trial exams. How could this happen after the endless hours they put into studying?
The 1.11% who managed to score straight As were considered by some as “high quality students”, forgetting the fact that some of them might have a lower overall percentage average than the non-straight A students.
