Find out what really happened in the UPSR shocker


I REFER to the article “Sad and mad with results of UPSR 2016” (The Star, Nov 19). It is important and necessary to analyse and deliberate on the causes of disappointment, unhappiness and anger among some pupils and their parents over the recently announced UPSR 2016 results.

If a child had been consistently getting grade “A” for a subject throughout his six years in tests and examinations , it is understandable that he is unable to accept the shock of getting a “B” or a “C” for the same subject in the UPSR.
