UPSR 7As and 5As.

In the mid December the standard six students placements in secondary schools were made known. Some 7As students of SKT/C were not offered to enrol in the primier schools but students SK even with 4As and 1B were offered place in these institutions. Reason: offers were based on co-curriculum for students of SKT/C but SK automatic offers.



How the co-curiculum marks were calculated. Answer- condidential.



The successful students (5As) of SK are separated and put in special classess called RKA( Rancangan Khas, special programme ) and the sub standard students (4As and 1B) were put together with the 7As students of SKT/C students.



Reason : The schools needs to concentrate on the SK students so as to ensure that they produce better results in PMR. SKT/C students : don't bother.



To any visitors from education departments or elsewhere were shown the RKA classes.



This practice gives an impression that the SK schools are superior to SKT/C school students.

This is in line with the government policy of " memperkasa sekolah kebangsaan".



Parents of SKT/C however should not give up hope. This is just a government gimmicks. The teachers teaching the RKA classes do not have extra teaching skills. The parents of these classes too depend heavily on private tuition classes which is a norm now for better results.



With all these dicriminations the enrolments to SKT/C s keep on rising. No sign of the standard of education being dropping. BRAVO PARENTS.
