PMR results improve - STAR is 2nd in Perak
A total of 34,271 (7.77%) out of 441,137 students scored straight A's in the 2011 Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) examinations, making it the best PMR results in the past four years, said Education director-general Datuk Seri Abd Ghafar Mahmud. In 2010, the percentage of straight A's scorers was 7.02%. Abd Ghafar said the National Average Grade (GPN) for the examinations improved from 2.74 to 2.71 this year (a lower GPN indicates better results).
A total 96 students from STAR score straight As for PMR this year compared to last year when a total of 88 students scored straight As. Grade point is 1.02 compared to 1.03 last year (lower is better). The result, in term of the number of straight As students and average grade, is better than last year. However, SEMESTI (SMS Teluk Intan) wins over STAR by a few micron points only to become no 1 in Perak - last year STAR was no 1 and MCKK came second. For MCphobes, just celebrate - STAR is still better than MCKK in both academic and rugby.
Congratulations to the students, teachers and headmaster. Bravo, STAR!
