Parents, teachers and students are talking about one question: should UPSR and PT3 return?
These examinations, which were once a staple in the public education system, were discontinued three years ago. Now, calls are growing for their return.
Life & the City tackles this hot-button issue head-on in its ninth episode.
Hosts Aida Ahmad and Farid Wahab are joined by Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abd Rahim as they dissect the pros and cons of reintroducing these national exams, compare them to the current school-based assessment system and explore how a potential return might impact learning environments and admissions to schools.
