Following the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) announced the Primary School Evaluation Test (UPSR) and form three (PT3) for the year 2020 was cancelled.


According to Dr. Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, the Minister of Education, the revocation will not be harmful to the level of student involvement in primary and secondary schools since the assessment can be carried out in many fields.


The withdrawal hallmarks are not harmful to the amount of students' share in primary and secondary schools, according to Dr. Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, the education limit, since the assessment can be achieved in several other ways.


In the meantime, the syllabus of Malaysian Education Certificate (SPM), Malaysian Vocational Certificate (SVM), Malaysian Higher Education Certificate (STPM), and Malaysian Religious Certificate (STAM) will be delayed for the year 2020.


For SPM and SVM the test period in the first quarter of 2021 will be rounded to a year. For STPM, the second-semester syllabus will take place in August 2020 while the third semester of STAM will take place in the first quarter of 2021.


Mohd Radzi also stated that this cancelation and postponement extend to all government schools, government-helped colleges, private schools and any educational institutions registered with KPM.


In addition to postponing the syllabus, in July and August, 2021 KPM and the Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) have postponed student admission to higher education, matriculation, and diploma. Admission to degree studies is also delayed until either September or October 2021.


The postponement of this review is not piece of good news but because of the occurrence of the virus Unread COVID-19. This year, UPSR and PT3 no year, though it is making sure the homework given by the school is complete. Maybe that's one of KPM's evaluation of the program.
