2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)

[buds]

:siam:


After next year I'd have 8 years (?) break before PSLE.
Don't wanna imagine what's in store.

bb_ mom:

Isn't it way too early? That's when DS supposed to be doing his o levels and I'm not even thinking of that.


And maybe there'll be major changes to the system?

2015 will be the first batch taking revised psle...there will be some modifications along the way...kids taking in 2016 may experience some difference :frustrated: 2019 is too far off. I dare not even think of daughter going to sec 1 in 2017 yet.

[phtthp]

this batch (born 2007 : golden pigs) is 5th batch :

to test out new PSLE English format, implemented since 2015. (1st pioneering batch)
luckily not the first batch
instead of past 10 years series : we only have past 4 years series, to refer to.

bb_ mom:

And maybe there'll be major changes to the system?

pray that our batch still able to stick to the existing single T-score.

not going to be the pioneering batch of guinea pigs -
to test out the new system by Moe to abolish single T-score, replaced by the new banding of T-score, for entry into Secondary schools. :nailbite: :slapshead:
better bypass this changes
(not sure when Moe will implement : which 1st batch of guinea pigs affected ? )

Janet88, I am equally speechless

dear sembgal,

you made us speechless!
children born in 2007 are only in PRIMARY 1 this year (2014). there will be several changes by the time these kids take their PSLE.

[phtthp]

sembgal:

Primary 1 is indeed a honeymoon year. :please:

2015 P2 won't be a honeymoon year anymore, unlike 2014 P1.
because at end of next year 2015 P2 :
streaming occur, in most schools.
because when enter 2016 P3 :-
from 30 kids per P2 class : will become 40+ kids per P3 class.

when they stream, they lose some of their old classmates, make new friends with new classmates.

I was thinking the chances our piggies to be the affected by the NO t-score thingy might be slim…


News was made in 2013… Cos that was the year that pm was addressing to the education aspect…
It was announced when the ministry has yet to made any draft plans…
Most probably they will take 2-3 years to iron out the concrete plan of how to go abt without tscore… (2014-2016) another 2 years to simulate accessments plans and sec1 admissions methods… (2017-2018)
Another year for getting approval by all authories to confirm the feasibility of new policy (2019)
Actual year of setting new plans in stone should be around 2020…

My guess la

Primary 1 is a honeymoon for some schools.

But there are many bite sized tests to prepare kids for tests/exams eventually. Come primary 2, there will be a REAL exam at the end of the year. But this thread is PSLE in 2019…it doesn’t make sense to 7+ year old kids.
