The organiser of a parents' group, which is against an exam that tracks the progress of students and the performance of schools, says unnecessary pressure is being put on young kids. 

Clement Kam has set up a Facebook page calling for the abolition of the Territory-wide System Assessment, or TSA, for Primary Three students. The page has attracted more than 30,000 supporters. 

He said the point of the assessment has lost its original purpose, as teachers were forced to drill students for the exams.
