Any Updates As To When PSLE T-Scores Will Be Scrapped?

I wonder how they will factor in bonus point for affiliated secondary school in the new scoring band system . Under the current point system, various primary schools have different cut off points with wide range affiliation points advantage . Under the new system , I wonder how it will be determined and will it be uniform across all schools ? Will it result in more people clamouring to go into primary school with affiliation or less ?


...

regarding affliation, one of the 3 possibility will be implemented, closer to 2021 :
- MOE may abolish affliation, give chance to every P6 student to enter Secondary schools, based on merit of the new Holistic system implemented,

Or

- MOE may standardize affliation to x point, for all affliated primary schools to Secondary,

Or

- MOE decide not to intervene, just let individual school Board control their own affliation policy.

Allocate base on citizenship, Singaporean will have priority?

If awarded MOE Edusave Character Award (ECHA), also can get points
CIP hours also can gain points

one normally ask : would affliation still exist ? often, as parents we tend to worry for our kids, what if affliation is gone ?

How about view from angle of the school Board ?
would the Secondary school prefer to take in their own affliated students, or prefer to open up to public ?

for girls who intend to be harpists, seems like so far MGS primary and Paya Lebar Methodist primary offer Harp Cca.


anyone aware of other primary schools, groom harpists ?

MGS primary also have golf Cca

Sorry if I ‘harp’ on it again:


Just curious, how much does a ‘normal’ harp for beginners costs roughly?
How about per lesson fee for beginners? Is there any web page etc to find harp teachers in Singapore?

OT: I always think the harp is an instrument played by angels and sounds very nice, perhaps brainwashed by cartoons I watched last time. Coincidentally we’ve stayed in a few hotels in Indonesia and Taiwan that has harpists playing in the lobby ( instead of piano) and it seems their per hour rate is quite high as such performers are ‘rare’ if I recall correctly.

I remember about 13 years ago, it was $750 for 45mins to engage a harpist.. I mean to play at the wedding, not teach.

yup...parents worry most for kids' education...which is a long period of time. other than having several transport ministers who oversaw the building of Downtown Line 2, there have also been a few ministers for Education which is an equally hot button. the 2 ministers for Education are very new onboard.

with reference to above link \"LEAPS 2.0 CCA Grading scheme\" :-
if one is a monitor or prefect, points are awarded under Leadership category

but did not mention any point, if one is a rep.
can be subject rep (English rep / Maths rep / Science rep / Chinese rep, Malay rep, Tamil rep), or Music rep, or PE rep, or Social Studies rep, or Art rep, etc

does it mean only prefect can score points, whereas zero point for the rep ?

Now, that sounds like a great career choice! No need to worry about PSLE scores at all.
