Kota Kinabalu: A Parti Warisan leader hailed Sarawak’s decision to introduce its own Year Six assessment for pupils following the controversial scrapping of the UPSR exam by the Ministry of Education.
He urged the Sabah Government to discuss with Sarawak Government on creating a Federal Government-ratified “Borneo Education System” suitable for both regions.Tungku Assemblyman Assafal P Alian said as founding members of the Federation, both Borneo states should have the right to shape the country’s education system and cater to present and future needs.
Assafal stressed that what Sabah wanted was an education system that would produce students of international quality who would one day assist in Sabah’s development through meritorious appointment as governmental and industry leaders.“That is why I think the idea by the Sarawak Government to create their own state assessment examination similar to UPSR is very good.
“Obviously creating such exams or even re-introducing UPSR and PT3 will add more burden to our teachers. It is also to ensure the huge annual budget allocated to the Ministry would be spent on realising aspirations and current/future needs of both regions.
