Basic literacy and numeracy pr<strong>of</strong>iciency are foundational skills, which<br />
prepare and shape students for lifelong learning. However, formal testing<br />
alone is insufficient to ensure pr<strong>of</strong>iciency as results come too late for any<br />
remedial work to be done which results in lost opportunities. LINUS was<br />
introduced as a targeted effort to detect weaknesses in these two areas at<br />
an early stage.<br />

The ultimate aim <strong>of</strong> the LINUS screening programme is to ensure that all<br />
<strong>Malaysia</strong>n students, excluding those with learning difficulties, possess basic<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in numeracy and Bahasa <strong>Malaysia</strong> literacy by the time they<br />
complete Primary Three. This programme screens students as they enter<br />
Primary One to determine their pr<strong>of</strong>iciency levels, and those who do not<br />
meet the standard are placed into remedial programmes.<br />
The success <strong>of</strong> LINUS in <strong>GTP</strong> 1.0 has encouraged its enhancement and<br />
expansion in <strong>GTP</strong> <strong>2.0</strong> to include English literacy screening as well as greater<br />
monitoring <strong>of</strong> student development as they move from Primary One to<br />
Primary Three.<br />
