The Education Ministry has decided to maintain the abolition of the Standard Six Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and Form Three Assessment (PT3) exams, a move initiated by the previous administration. Minister Fadhlina Sidek emphasized the need for consistent assessment practices and stated that reinstating the exams would require careful consideration. The ministry is currently focused on the new 2027 school curriculum and is drafting a ten-year education development plan starting in 2026. Recent discussions have highlighted concerns about student performance, particularly after it was noted that over 10,000 candidates did not sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exams last year.
