This will be the last year for PMR as it will be replaced with School-Based Assessment in 2014

THE School-Based Assessment, better known by its Malay acronym PBS (Pentaksiran Ber-asaskan Sekolah) was introduced last year in all government and government-aided primary schools, and this year in all government and government-aided secondary schools.

Thus, the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) in 2016 and the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) in 2014 will be revamped to accommodate the transformation.
