Hoping for a balanced education system  


AS I watched my daughter prepare for the new school year, I found myself pondering a question that has been on the mind of parents since way back in 2022: Will the Form Three Assessment (PT3) and Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) be revived?

“Your batch might have PT3 back,” I blurted to my daughter. She paused, looked at me and nodded. There was no panic, just curiosity and perhaps a silent recalibration of what the next few years might be like for her.
