KUALA LUMPUR: The National Union of Teaching Profession (NUTP) wants the Education Ministry to issue an official statement or circular so that school authorities and educators are clear about its stand on trial PT3 (Form Three) assessments.
Its Secretary-General, Harry Tan Huat Hock, said in a statement Saturday that some schools keen on being ranked, were holding the PT3 trial assessments which was a concern and burden to both students and teachers.

“We are asking for a formal statement or a circular from the ministry so that teachers are not confused or become victims of the school administration and principal. Most school principals and administrators need ‘black and white’ information,” he explained.
On July 6, NUTP uploaded a video on its Facebook page where Malaysian Examinations Syndicate principal assistant director Mohamad Rohesan, urged all school principals and administrators not to conduct trial and year-end assessments for form three students.
