Thank you for the update.
How will this change affect the Primary 6 pupils, assuming a child scores A1 for all 5 subjects- Eng, Math, Chinese, Science and Higher Chinese with another child who scores A1 for only taking 4 subjects (without Higher Chinese) ?
Assuming the first child who takes 5 subjects score 5 A1s, that will be 5 points, am I right? What about another child who takes only 4 subjects (without Higher Chinese) and scores4 A1s, that will be 4 points?
How is taking an additional Higher Mother Tongue subject going to affect these batches of students under the revamped PSLE grading system?
I understand that currently if the child takes Higher Mother Tongue and scores Distinction, it will be +3 points, Merit will be +2points and Pass will be +1 point.
MOE is going to revamp PSLE grading system. The first batch of pupils affected could be the current Pri 3 pupils born in 2006 or current Pri 2 pupils born in 2007. Changes need time to work. Remember the PSLE change in English Syllabus? It was announced to public 3 years ago before it was introduced to our current batch of Pri 6 pupils this year who are the first batch to try out the New PSLE English syllabus.
Anyone to comment and share your views? -
just hope that our batch of 2007 born kids, can escape the new Psle system !
uncertainty lie ahead of us ... :slapshead:
what can be worse in life, than to be a guinea pig, used for testing, trial run purposes ? :stupid:
regarding those 5 subjects u mention above (including HMT) :
academic wise, this new Banding system may set a maximum weightage on academic, plus add in something else new onto the weighing scale, to band the Psle system. But what these something else new going to be, we (parents) do not know, yet. Not sure whether we parents will ever get to know the full detail disclosed, or certain parts remain forever as a mystery to us (parents), ie. remain as black box
Implication ?
As pointed out by a friend of mine :
through Banding, there is no longer any obvious distinction between \"my 4A1s Total raw score and your 4A1s Total raw score\", unless there is still an overall score that only schools or MOE can see internally, which they can use to compare internally, without letting parents know.
That means parents will never get to know, what is their child's actual Total raw score, for the 4 or 5 subjects' (if include HMT) Total.
Consequences ?
This will also mean much, more Tougher competition now, for Top Secondary schools, since there is no obvious distinction now amongst students' score. -
Under this new Banding system, not sure -
How Is it going to handle current, existing DSA application ?
How GEP students, may be impacted ?
How affliated primary school students, going to be impacted ?
There are 101 qn.
Every score fall under a band.
When your child fall under this band range : then can enter this set of Secondary schools, u can choose from.
If fall under another band range : then enter another set of Secondary schools
Everything is a black box mystery, for now.
Let the experts answer the detailed queries, in due time -

This year's batch is the first to sit for the revamped English syllabus...mainly composition and open-ended comprehension. I am keen to know if there is any fine tune because my daughter will be sitting for psle next year. Also, she is the last batch using the old science syllabus.

Any changes to the psle system is unlikely to be implemented with immediate effect. -

hi Janet,

your daughter (born 2004), P5 this year : won't be affected.
Otherwise, Moe would have announced by now, to get parents & students in this batch, mentally prepared to face the new Psle banding weightage system.
kids born 2005 (P4 this year) : also unlikely, to be affected.
But, kids born 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and thereafter : ? -
For our batch, apart from -
English psle format change, Chinese Oral format change to Watch short video clip, Science change to include some new topic, what else change ? -
with any change of education minister, parents would usually worry about the changes. any changes to the primary syllabus won’t affect my daughter who’s already in p5, but the secondary syllabus would affect her (if there are changes).
