14. As a conclusion, we can see that this PBS System is not
accepted by the students in the Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan Buloh Kasap. They feel that this PBS System is
not effective for students. Therefore, they are hoping that
this PBS system should be terminated. This is because this
PBS system gives more disadvantages compared to the
advantages. The disadvantages can be shown through the
increases of truancy in Sekolah Menengah Buloh Kasap, less
competition in academic achievement and just focus on
assessment.

15. 1) The lower secondary students in Sekolah Menengah Buloh
Kasap should be exposed to the mission and vision of the PBS
system. So, the students will know why government
implemented this system.
2) Teachers should plays an important roles to make the
students will study hard for their achievement. Even
though, there will be no PMR examination; there will be some
test and quizzes that can evaluate the level of their
achievement.
3) Another recommendation is, teachers must be professional
to teach their students and finish their syllabus so that the
students will learn the entire syllabus not only the syllabus
that are being assessed. This means that, the teachers should
go for a seminar for well prepared teaching and evaluating.
