An evaluation of the implementation of the school-based assessment system in Malaysia (IR)

The implementation of the school-based assessment (SBA) system is an effort in improving human capital development in a holistic manner and also to lessen the negative influences of exam-oriented education systems on students. The need to evaluate the new system is of critical importance as the SBA...
