UPSR Is Abolished

The UPSR has been cancelled for good, from this year onwards. We explore the significance of this announcement by first hearing the rationale behind this decision, and how it will impact students and teachers. Then we look at alternative methods of assessment, and whether it may lead to wider changes in Malaysia’s education system.
