CONCLUSION:
• CONCLUSION: Personal View
Birmingham University
Advantage :• Before GCSE: their have to sit a tests according
to students' interests - teachers will determine whether a student will sit GCSE at a high level or not.
• BUT, in Malaysia, student compulsory to sit SPM test
• GCSE first national test in UK - Poor students will only be allowed to sit “foundation level” test –C is the highest grade for them - excellent students will sit “higher level”
• GCSE - students have been exposed with “course work/assignment” concept, BUT in Malaysia, we only focusing on “Examination” concept. So, Malaysia should change the system – to produce students with critical thinking
