Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) is not just to assess the real performance of the students. We need future generation is more creative, dare to face challenge and productive. Therefore the schools and parents must think of sharing effort to further developing students' creativity, capabilities and thinking while they are young in school. We have to nurture creativity and talent in students.
Recent lower results of UPSR does not mean we are declined. This year of 503,928 candidates who sat for the examination, 45,054 scored all A's, which is a 0.54% decrease from last year. Further 17,251 candidates or 3.42% scored below the minimum achievement (those with grades D, E, or a combination of both) compared to 2.88% last year.
"The percentage of candidates with good scores with a minimum Grade C, not including straight A scorers, increased by 1.49% from 55.45% in 2011 to 56.94% (286,930 candidates) in 2012," she said when announcing the results here Monday.
Now we can see probably those 57% of candidate may be more creative and become a creative citizen in the future. My son got more As compared to those his friends in better classes who spent their time with tuition classes and guided study. My son probably spent more time with his PS3, football channels and memorise all top players in the world football clubs but not forgetting local top players rather than doing mathematics and science. BUT he can understand football commentator better than me.
