KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11 — The Education Ministry’s move to study the need to revive the Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) and the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examinations has received positive feedback from academics, who also suggested several improvements.

Senior lecturer at the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Technology, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Dr Yap Soon Li said that if the National Education Advisory Council (MPPK) recommends reintroducing both examinations, it should not be seen as a step backwards, but as a systematic realignment within the national education assessment landscape.
