THE abolition of the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examinations, as announced by Education Minister Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, is one step towards ensuring that today’s children are able to benefit from an education system that is of global standards.
This is not something new, the first shift in the Malaysian Education Blueprint (2013-2025).
By shifting from a rote-based education system to one that enables our children today to boost their cognitive and higher-order thinking skills, we are ensuring that our nation is futureproof and possesses a workforce that is agile and flexible as the next generation was able to build up their core skills when it mattered most.
