THE country’s examination system is undergoing a radical transformation as we witnessed the recent announcements of Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) results followed by Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3) results last week. For many years, exam results has become an event in its own right in this country. We need to change this “mindset” of what is expected from exam results. The first step in reforming our exam-oriented education system began in 2014 when the Education Ministry replaced the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) with PT3. It has been a low-key affair in many schools this year when both exam results were announced.
