KUCHING: The Sarawak government through the Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development (MEITD) has formulated a comprehensive plan to implement standardised assessments for Year 6 pupils beginning in 2025, and for Form 3 students by 2028.

Its Minister, Dato Sri Roland Sagah Wee Inn stated that the Federal Ministry of Education has granted preliminary approval and is providing the necessary cooperation and support for the implementation of these standardised assessments.

“Our planned assessments will only cover the subjects of English, Mathematics, and Science, which are taught in English, as part of our Dual Language Programme or DLP Sarawak. 

The first cohort of students, starting in 2020, will undergo these assessments in 2025,” he said during his ministerial winding-up speech at the 19th Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Session on Monday.

Additionally, the Tarat Assemblyman mentioned that his Ministry is currently engaged in a series of discussions with an internationally accredited assessment provider to ensure the quality and standard of these assessments. -UKASnews
