KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the Penilaian Menengah
Rendah (PMR) or Lower Secondary Assessment examination would be replaced
with Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3) or Form 3 Assessment, beginning this
year.
The Deputy Prime Minister said through the implementation of
improvements in the Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah (PBS) or School-Based
Assessment on April 1, there would no longer be any centralised
examination for Form 3 students implemented at the school level.
"PT3 replaces PMR. There is some form of assessment at the school
level. The PT3 will be used as the basis to determine the entry of
students into Form 4 whether in Fully Residential Schools, Sekolah
Menengah Kebangsaan Agama, Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSM) including
Sekolah Menengah Teknik (SMT) and Vocational Colleges.
"Besides the PT3, entry into these schools will also use the
Psychometric Test to ensure that the selection and emplacement of
students suited their capability and interest," he said.
Muhyidddin, who is also the Education Minister, said this at a
special media conference, which was also attended by the major players
in the country's education system such as the National Union of the
Teaching Profession (NUTP) at Parliament House, here today.
He said the schools would inform the results of the performance
assessment of the students at the end of the year the assessment was
made and the student concerned could request for the result slip to go
to any fully residential school.
