UPSR - A Numbers Game?

UPSR - A Numbers Game?

We continue our conversation on the recent UPSR Results. The Standard Six exam results have not been well-received, as only 4,000 out of over 400,000 achieved all As. This begs the question: Does achieving good grades guarantee success? Or are we Malaysians still fixated with the ‘all As’ mentality? BFM explores. 

This is a report by Aisyah Tajuddin and Wan Irdina.
