Dr. Anuar Ahmad from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia advocates for the reintroduction of centralized assessments for Year 6 and Form 3 students to address failures in Malaysia’s education system. He emphasizes that these assessments would provide valuable insights into student progress and help identify improvement areas before the Malaysian Certificate of Education (MCE) exam. Anuar’s comments come in response to alarming statistics, including over 10,000 students not sitting for the SPM exam and nearly 63,000 Year 1 pupils lacking literacy and numeracy skills. Parents have expressed concerns about the abolition of major exams in 2022, feeling it has reduced motivation and clarity in their children’s education.
