PUTRAJAYA: All Year Six pupils are required to retake the UPSR Mathematics and Tamil language papers.
Education Ministry director-general Datuk Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof said the Malaysian Examinations Board (MEB) had confirmed that both papers had been leaked on Sept 21.
He said students will be retaking both exam papers on October 9 and the date was chosen after taking into account the logistics aspects and public holidays such as Hari Raya Aidiladha.
Khair also apologised to parents, students and teachers and promised that it would not repeat.
