Why you all so kiasu? All K2 students in any kindergarten are more than ready for P1.
It is nothing so special about P1. It is not university level.
MOE is not stupid and follows according to world education standards requirements.
It is compulsory for all schools P1 to be able to cope with all levels of children even without any kindergarten past. So even if your child has not gone to kindergarten, she/he will still able to cope in P1. Only children who required special needs school cannot cope in P1.
The real challenges in children educations start from second year of secondary school. First year of secondary is a year to let children cope with their new surroundings.
If you worried, kiasu and rich, you can consider sending your children to private tuitions and 2-3 kindergartens everyday including all holidays.

hi babyme
thanks for your prompt reply. wonder if you have kids of primary school going age.
1) kids who don't attend kindergarten can cope- this is not true.
from the very first lesson of p1, HYPY is given. Tingxie starts from second week , if you don't have the basis to even grasp the basic you will flop the tingxie which is not basic at all.
2)kids expected to know how to read before starting p1.
3) if rich , kiasu , do i have to be here asking about this? i would have jolly well send the kid to enrichment. whole point here is hoping that the curriculum is good enough so that no enrichment is needed. thanks ah but would appreciate genuine answers here.
