National Public Exams: Yes Or No?

Recently, education minister Fadhlina Sidek confirmed that the UPSR primary school assessment and the PT3 form 3 exams which were abolished in 2022 will not be reinstated. However, the deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi believes these national exams provide a necessary benchmark to measure education levels. Nina Adlan Disney, Executive Director at LeapEd Services, weighs in on this debate.
