KSSR Year 4

KSSR Year 4 are the most in-demand workbooks for SJK(C) primary schools at the moment. Students in Standard 4 start off 2014 as early adopters of yet another new school syllabus. This is time round, they are the pioneers of the KSSR Tahun 4 or “Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah” Year Four syllabus.

Of course, they are already the experts in this field having done it for the past three years. Each year since 2011, the Ministry of Education has introduced the KSSR syllabus to a new academic year, replacing the old KBSR or “Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Rendah” as the syllabus for Malaysian primary schools. They started with Standard 1 in 2011, Standard 2 in 2012, Standard 3 in 2013 and now this year they are replacing Standard 4 in 2014.

The KSSR systems introduces several new teaching concepts, such as a fun-based learning system involving music and games, and a less examination-oriented mindset. There is more focus on creativity, analytical thinking, and language skills. It is also deemed more advanced than the KBSR curriculum, thus giving an advantage to current Year 4 students and younger. But as always, these improvements introduce challenges to teachers, pupils and parents alike as they have to adapt to changes to a system that has been long established.

We at Peekabook are here to help with this transition. We are the earliest to have KSSR Year 4 workbooks in stock and available for sale online. And should you not be able to find something you were looking for, just drop us an email.
