PETALING JAYA: An academic has called for improved facilities in rural schools to enable effective school-based assessments now that UPSR has been abolished.
Mastra Irfa Nasrun, a teacher at an Orang Asli school in Johor, agreed. She said it was crucial to improve internet facilities so rural and Orang Asli children would not be left behind. She welcomed the abolition of UPSR, saying exam-oriented schooling did not work well with Orang Asli children. According to her, these children have inherited from their communities their own skills, talents and learning styles.“We know UPSR questions are standardised. The Orang Asli children knew they had to compete with those in urban areas. This put them under a lot of pressure.”
Zuwati Hasim, a lecturer at Universiti Malaya’s education faculty, told FMT teacher workload might be the main hurdle in carrying out assessments that are school-based or class-based.
Hurrah for UMNO... perfect breeding ground for polarisation.
