Abolished
In 2011, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has declared that the PMR examination may be abolished in 2014, and the Form Three students' performance by that year would be tested through the School-Based Assessment (SBA) conducted by the schools themselves. The SBA will be monitored by the Examination Board to ensure the examination questions are of quality and can really gauge the students' achievements. Stated by the Deputy Prime Minister, this measure will also enable parents to obtain the latest information on their children's academic performances in school. With numerous debates, it was finally confirmed in early October 2012, which PMR will be officially abolished.
