UPSR

Introduction

Primary School Achievement Test, also known as Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (commonly abbreviated as UPSR; Malay), is a national examination taken by all students in Malaysia at the end of their sixth year in primary school before they leave for secondary school. It is prepared and examined by the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia), an agency that constitutes the Ministry of Education. Students in national schools (sekolah kebangsaan) are required to take five subjects, in addition to an aptitude test. Students in Chinese and Tamil national-type schools (sekolah jenis kebangsaan) are required to take two additional language subjects, totalling seven subjects. Multiple choice questions are tested using a standardized optical answer sheet that uses optical mark recognition for detecting answers.

Purpose of the assessment

The government made ​​a UPSR to determine the level  in the learning and development of students . Teacher can guide and teach students  to learn better in future in subject they don’t understand. Beside that government made UPSR because to make student more mature in life for example to getting ready when exam and must read and learn a lots to success in future.

Opinion about the issues

In my opinion this was a great action for students because  this way can make student learn nothing comes easy in life. We must try harder and smarter to success. We must has effort to success and make family proud. Its really good to proceed to make student learn smart and become more clever and wise.

Suggestion

My suggestion is, government must improve teacher skill to educate students because teacher is like a mirror in students eyes. Teacher must have characteristic feature and be a role model to students. Its is important because nowdays student make their teacher as idol that they wanted to be or copy.
