[quote=\"Elctrodragon\"]Er, I'm a gep student who got into ri and I'm eligible for gep promotion and fee subsidies but I don't know if RI has enough places for ge students. I was not offered gep fees subsidy but instead got edusave entrance scholarship for independent schools(EESIS). What does this mean? Do I get into RI but am not in a gep class? I got 264.

Hi elctodragon,
All students who get in RI will take the same programme whether they are geppers or mainstreamers. Heard there are abt 7 classes for geppers and u should be in one of them. Reason to separate the Ge and mainstream pri students are to make sure the mainstream students r able to catch up with the pace..but ultimately they r studying the Same programme...
As for the eesis or gep subsidy fees .. I think if u granted eesis then u will not be granted the gep subsidy.. U may like to read the first few pgs of the green secondary schools selection book which stated the eligibility of the diff scholarship and funds ....

Thanks so much for the swift response vlim, but I am still wondering why in the S1 IS Website it is reflected that I \"not been enrolled in the school-based special programme of an Independent School\", but I was told I have met BOTH GEP promotion and EESIS criteria in a MOE letter. I am confused, like you, i was told GEP students will be placed in gep classes to go thru the school based GE enrichment programme.  [/quote]hi, i think sbsp(school-based special programme) is for o-level school, sbge(school based GE) is for ip school, no?[/quote]

thanks kitcat! very helpful!

[/quote]Err ... U have got in RI thru DSA?.., I think u don't have to bother about tt.., maybe tt is for those who go school base gifted prog in 'O' level track.,.., but u are now in RI integrated prog, so u get eesis instead of the gep subsidy ...
Emmmm.. Maybe other parents would like to add on or correct me ..? :roll:[/quote]

Er, I’m a gep student who got into ri and I’m eligible for gep promotion and fee subsidies but I don’t know if RI has enough places for ge students. I was not offered gep fees subsidy but instead got edusave entrance scholarship for independent schools(EESIS). What does this mean? Do I get into RI but am not in a gep class? I got 264.
