Strange thing is ...
Even if MOE were to impose -2 points discount for affliated P6 students to their Secondary schools, but in reality, may not even be just -2 points so simple, in reality can be -3 points.

Until MOE announces any concrete plans, any discussion is an exercise in futility.

Must make noise first before the whole thing is set in concrete and it is too late.

since the announcement was made, there wasn't much details from education minister. so it could mean nothing is concrete. making some noise now may be effective.

When have the G ever taken noise on the Internet into consideration before announcing their position?

I understand they started inviting affected parents (i.e. this year's P1) for focus group discussion on this. So there is a room for some modifications between and 2021.


So if you really want to get views heard, there are ways. Probably not here though. One wonders whether MOE considers these forums are boon or bane for them. :siam:

Yes, some primary schools' Principal / VP, may be holding talks to parents at school premises in Term 4, to only affected 2009 born pupils (current 2016 P1s) : pioneering AL Psle batch, on what to expect, lying ahead.
Only to affected students, not to the entire school

Don't think we'll be hearing anything official from them until Part 2 - DSA distinctive progs (of this \"twin package\") is ready for announcement. If there're any further tweaks, it'll have to be after those FGDs that grimm and phtthp mentioned.

MOE prefer to take discussions off the line, and they tend to like targeting at stakeholders only (c.f. IPJC saga)

Those ksps with Ox kids, for now. Tiger mums and dads not likely, yet.

I dunno if they would make any modifications, seriously. The new scoring system looks like some top scholar's brainchild.

I believe the seemingly simplistic scoring system was from someone who's smart at manipulating our S$NEER monetary policy band, someone who's very talented in stats, math permutations and combinations Above all, someone who firmly believes in the \"ESIAGS\" utopian motto and who takes OSC feedback seriously. Could also be a collective effort by a team of thinkers, or a big idea that was mooted by a great thinker but pieced together by a team of thinkers.

But certainly can't be from the incumbent. He doesn't sound convicted when he talks about it in Parl and on tv, like he knows it well enough to be able to defend and justify its technicalities sufficiently. He was only sworn in not along ago. Will he modify the system he's inherited?
