Updating PBS website is a burden for teachers

I AM one of the many frustrated teachers who have been affected by PBS (Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah) or School-Based Assessment.

This is the second year of PBS but sadly the system has made zero improvement since last year.

I am utterly disappointed that the problems in the PBS website have not been rectified much to the frustration of teachers.

The website seems unable to support the growing number of users.

I am appalled that the Education Ministry did not study the technical aspects of the system before implementing them. I have been trying for a week to key in the data but my efforts were all in vain.

We have to sacrifice our sleep, trying to log in the wee hours of morning or late night.

In other words, we have to teach and do other clerical duties during the day and at night we have to key in data.

When do we teachers rest and perform our family duties?

Now we are required to update our data for the SPS, HRMS, E-Pangkat, E-Operasi and so forth.

It looks like we are spending so much of time online than attending to our students.

I really wish something could be done to ease the extra burden on teachers.
