KUALA LUMPUR: The Education Ministry (MoE) has decided to do away with the Form Three Assessment (PT3) examination for good, its minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin announced today.
This came two years after PT3 exams were cancelled for the years 2020 and 2021 following the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
"In 1993, PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah) was introduced and PT3 in 2014. In 2020 and last year, PT3 exams were not carried out.
"Many wondered what will happen with PT3 exams this year? We have decided to abolish it starting this year," he said during a press conference aired live on his Facebook page and DidikTV today.
Radzi added that the ministry will implement summative assessment and work on improving school-based and classroom-based assessments in schools.
