PUTRAJAYA: The Education Ministry has activated the National Education Advisory Council to study the need to revive the Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) and Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examinations.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the council’s findings would be presented to the Cabinet before any further decisions are made.
“We will review the examinations as they remain a key concern among parents,” she said.
She added that survey reports and recommendations would also be submitted to the Cabinet for deliberation.
Fadhlina confirmed the study would be carried out soon.
The UPSR was abolished in 2021, followed by PT3 in 2022.
Both national examinations were replaced by school-based assessments.
