PMR, UPSR To Have New Format From 2016 - Muhyiddin
He said the third and final roundtable on improvement of the systems had been completed and the ministry's views and proposals were well-received.
"Generally, I can say that many agree that the UPSR should be retained but with improvements while the PMR should be replaced with a school-based assessment.
"The important thing is that every stage of progress of the pupil and student should be evaluated," he said.
Muhyiddin said an improvement which might be considered for the UPSR was that 60 per cent of the evaluation would be based on selected academic fields and the remaining 40 per cent on co-curriculum or civics.
He said the matter would be brought to the Cabinet and the details of the improvements would be announced once the final decision had been made.
On the school-based assessment in place of the PMR, he said the Examinations Syndicate would play an important role to coordinate the type of examination at the school level.
"Perhaps, in about a week from now, we will make the announcement," he said.
Muhyiddin said the improvements would consolidate further the country's system and quality of education and it would not be seen as purely examination-oriented.
He said the pioneer school-based assessment had been implemented since 2008 and so far involved 550 schools.
The improvements to the UPSR and PMR would involve changes in terms of curriculum, books and training for teachers, he said.

SYDNEY, Oct 9 (Bernama) -- The Lower Secondary Assessment (PMR) and the Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR) will have a new format from 2016, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said on Saturday.
He said the PMR for Form Three students would be a school-based assessment while the UPSR for Standard Six pupils would have a different format.
Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said the ministry would require time to implement the new evaluation systems because the students and pupils in the current systems could not burdened with the new format.
"If we want to improve the UPSR and PMR, it will have to be as early as 2016. It will be for pupils and students who enter the systems in 2011; the first examinations will be in 2016," Muhyiddin, who is on a visit to Australia, told reporters here.
