The Year Four Learning Matrix (MPT4) provides a two-year period for schools to address learning gaps through targeted interventions before students advance to secondary school.

Designed by the Examination Board, this assessment helps teachers identify students' weaknesses early and tailor interventions accordingly, emphasizing the improvement of teaching processes and the provision of remedial and enrichment support.

Implemented for the first time, it assesses over 400,000 pupils across several core subjects, ensuring interventions are effective and monitored at all education system levels.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 6 — The Year Four Learning Matrix (MPT4) gives schools a crucial two-year window to address learning gaps through targeted interventions before students enter secondary school.

Examination Board (LP) director Abdul Aziz Mamat said the assessment was designed to help teachers identify and address students’ weaknesses as early as Year Five.

He said the assessment data would enable schools to implement targeted interventions, such as strengthening teaching and learning (PdP) processes, providing remedial support to students who have yet to master basic skills, and offering enrichment activities for those who have already mastered them.

“This gives us at least two years at the primary school level to implement intervention programmes to improve students’ performance and abilities, while also nurturing the potential of those who have already met the established standards.

“This approach allows interventions to be implemented based on students’ needs, rather than comparisons between students or schools,” he said in a video recording shared by the Ministry of Education (MOE) on X today.

MPT4, which is being implemented for the first time this year, involves more than 400,000 Year Four pupils nationwide and will run for three days until Thursday.

The assessment covers four core subjects, namely Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics and Science, as well as Chinese and Tamil for pupils at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan.

It is designed to assess pupils’ mastery of basic literacy, numeracy and scientific skills acquired from Year One to Year Four.

To ensure that the interventions do not remain merely “on paper”, Abdul Aziz said responsibility for monitoring and quality assurance was not borne solely by teachers, but was shared across all levels of the education system.

He said teachers were responsible for identifying learning needs and planning interventions, while school administrators were responsible for ensuring that follow-up measures were properly planned and implemented.

Abdul Aziz added that at the district and state levels, LP, together with the relevant MOE divisions, would conduct quality assurance to ensure support and interventions were implemented fairly and effectively. — Bernama

四年级学习矩阵（MPT4）为学校提供了两年的时间，以便在学生升入中学之前，通过有针对性的干预措施来解决学习差距。

该评估由考试委员会设计，旨在帮助教师及早发现学生的弱点并据此调整干预措施，重点在于改进教学过程和提供补习及强化支持。

首次实施后，该评估涵盖多个核心科目，对超过 40 万名学生进行评估，确保干预措施有效，并在教育系统的各个层面进行监控。

布城，10 月 6 日讯——四年级学习矩阵 (MPT4) 为学校提供了一个至关重要的两年窗口期，以便在学生进入中学之前通过有针对性的干预措施来解决学习差距。

考试委员会（LP）主任阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹·马马特表示，该评估旨在帮助教师尽早发现并解决学生在五年级时的弱点。

他表示，评估数据将使学校能够实施有针对性的干预措施，例如加强教学和学习（PdP）过程，为尚未掌握基本技能的学生提供补习支持，并为已经掌握基本技能的学生提供拓展活动。

“这让我们至少有两年的小学阶段时间来实施干预计划，以提高学生的成绩和能力，同时培养那些已经达到既定标准的学生的潜力。

“这种方法可以根据学生的需求来实施干预措施，而不是在学生或学校之间进行比较，”他在教育部今天在X上分享的一段视频录像中说道。

MPT4 今年首次实施，全国有超过 40 万名四年级学生参加，并将持续三天，直到周四。
