Teachers forced to tweak grades to meet KPI: Academician theSun theSundaily teachers graders students KPI Keyperformanceindicators

Teachers are allegedly being forced under the current school-based assessment system to provide better grades to students just to meet key performance indicators for themselves and the school, said academician Prof Dr Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi.

“Such an attitude epitomises the culture of meeting KPI set by the school and Education Ministry. The schools do not care how teachers are going to maintain their KPI as they only want to see numbers and great results,” he toldHowever, Tajuddin said some teachers were creative in teaching their students so they can comprehend the concepts of particular subjects, instead of memorising key points. These teachers are doing the right thing by being creative.

“We did not discuss if we should be more lenient or strict in grading students from rural areas compared with those in cities. But we have vetting sessions to ensure everyone marks the papers with similar standards. “I feel this is necessary because it sets clear goals on what to achieve every year. However, I think the KPI and grades can be manipulated, but I have not seen it in practice. At least, not yet.”
