PUTRAJAYA (Jan 20): The government will introduce a new approach to learning assessment in primary and secondary schools through the implementation of the Malaysia Learning Matrix, starting with the Year Four Learning Measurement in 2026 and the Form Three Learning Measurement in 2027, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said that at the primary school level, the Year Four Learning Measurement will be implemented from 2026, covering four core subjects: Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics and Science. The Form Three Learning Measurement will be introduced from 2027, covering five main subjects: Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, Science and History. According to Anwar, both assessments will be centrally administered by the Examination Board as part of efforts to build a more comprehensive national education assessment system focused on students’ mastery of learning. The RPN is jointly led by MOHE through the Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint (RPTM) 2026-2035 and MOE through the Malaysian Education Blueprint (RPM) 2026-2035.
