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.
