UPSR restitution for trio

by Anthony Aga. Posted on October 5, 2011, Wednesday

SARIKEI: The three SK Bandar Bintangor pupils prevented from sitting for the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) last month, finally got their chance to complete the examination yesterday.

Official sources confirmed that the trio sat for all the papers they missed on Sept 13-14, when they were said to have been locked in a remedial room by school authorities.

“The trio are not required to sit for the papers which they had already taken on September 15. They only need to sit for the papers they missed out on the first two days,” said the source who refused to elaborate.

The special examination session was conducted by officials from the Examination Board at the Meradong District Education Office in Bintangor.

The three pupils — Idie Ganyol, Edward Ujoh Augustine and Richmend Mangi — were said to have been prevented from sitting for the examination as they were considered academically poor thus could pull down the school’s overall performance.

A police report was filed by the pupils’ parents over the incident on Sept 15.

After a team of policemen who went to the school to investigate, found the three boys locked in a room, the school sent the trio to the examination hall to sit for English Paper 1 and 2 and another subject.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin later apologised to the pupils’ parents and allowed the pupils to sit for the examination at a later date.

Muhyiddin, who is Education Minister, ordered the Examination Board to prepare examination questions similar to those given earlier.

GURU membantu Edward mengulangkaji pelajaran sebagai persediaan menduduki UPSR hari ini.

Murid bersemangat duduki peperiksaan

BINTANGOR (SARIKEI): Tiga murid Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Bandar Bintangor yang ‘terlewat’ menduduki Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) berbanding rakan lain, mengakui lemah dalam subjek tertentu, namun yakin akan lulus dalam peperiksaan itu.

Murid Tahun Enam, Edward Ujoh Augutine, Richmend Mangi dan Idie Ngayol, mula menduduki UPSR hari ini di Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah (PPD) Bintangor, di sini, selepas dikurung dan tidak dibenarkan menduduki ujian itu bulan lalu kerana dikatakan tidak pandai.

Walaupun tidak menaruh harapan tinggi, tiga rakan dari rumah panjang Selat, Sungai Janting itu tetap bersemangat selepas diyakinkan guru bagi menduduki semula peperiksaan, selain mengulangkaji bersama sejak tiga hari lalu.

Edward berkata, kesedihan kerana tidak dibenarkan menduduki peperiksaan bersama rakan lain masih terasa, namun dia tetap bertekad mahu membuktikan murid lemah masih berpeluang untuk berjaya.

“Saya cuma mencatat keputusan terbaik C bagi subjek Bahasa Malaysia ketika ujian percubaan lalu, tetapi bagi peperiksaan kali ini saya yakin boleh memperbaiki keputusan itu sekurang-kurangnya B.

“Cikgu banyak membantu kami termasuk mengadakan kelas insentif sejak minggu lalu. Kesungguhan cikgu membuatkan saya tidak sabar menduduki peperiksaan esok (hari ini),” katanya.

:: UPSR di SK Bandar Bintangor...?

RIGHTS DENIED: Ting (seated third left) with pupils (seated from left) Richmend, Edward and Idie, their parents and others.

BINTANGOR: Three pupils of SK Bandar Bintangor were not allowed to sit for the UPSR (Primary School Achievement Test) because the school considered them academically poor and might pull down its overall performance.

The three boys were said to have been locked in a remedial room while their classmates sat for the examination on Sept 13 and 14.

When their parents complained, they were allowed to sit for the examination on Sept 15 – the final day of the examination.

The boys are Idie Ganyol, Edward Ujoh Augustine and Richmend Mangi.

Meradong assemblywoman Ting Tze Fui told The Borneo Post yesterday that the three boys were locked in a room from 8am until noon on the first two days of the three-day examination.

She said their parents lodged a police report when the incident came to light.

“Police went to the school to check on Sept 15, and found the boys locked in a room,” Ting recalled, adding that the trio were later sent to the examination hall.

“But they could only sit for English Paper I and II and one other subject,” she lamented.

Urging the Education Department to investigate, Ting said the school had been unfair to the pupils.

She was concerned because UPSR was such an important examination.

“Without sitting for it, they can’t proceed to secondary school,” she said.

She chided the school for denying the pupils their right to sit for the examination, and said the school’s concern for its overall performance could not justify its act.

“Not everyone is born smart, but they can learn. That’s why we need education.

“No discrimination should exist in our education system,” said the Meradong assemblywoman.
