For some GEP centers where students either take CL or HCL ONLY but are ranked together without apparent differentiation, is it considered fair?

Hi,

Anyone knows abt if EESIS is given to P6 GEP students if they subsequently get enrolled in any Independent Schools for sec 1 or offered DSA ? Or do they have to get a minimum T score still like the manstream students?
Thank you.

As long as the child met the required mark. This year is 262 they will get EESIS.

1.2 The EESIS is also awarded to Primary 6 Gifted Education Programme (GEP) Singaporean students who:

meet the P6 GEP promotion criteria, and
are enrolled in the IP in an Independent School at S12.

Think the 262 only apply to mainstream.

I did ask MOE but their reply did not address my question on the T score required for my kid:


" We refer to your email on the Edusave Entrance Scholarships for Independent Schools (EESIS).

2. The EESIS is awarded to the top one-third of the total number of S1 pupils admitted to all Independent Schools (IS) based on PSLE aggregate score. Eligible pupils will be offered the EESIS if they are admitted to an IS and have met the 2017 EESIS cut-off score based on their PSLE aggregate score (before any bonus points).

3. Students who are in the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) would need to meet the stringent Primary 6 GE promotional criteria. GEP students will need to perform well in the programme which is more demanding and rigorous than that of the mainstream and be promoted from one level to the next within the GEP. Their promotion is based on their performance during their Primary 4 – 6 years as well as their attitude towards the enriched curriculum. In addition, for them to be eligible for the EESIS, they have to be enrolled in the integrated programme of an IS before they are offered the scholarship.

Thank you."

On the first read, it sounded like if my kid can get the EESIS as long as he gets enrolled in an independent school ( either DSA or by T score). But there seems to be a set of ‘P6 promotional criteria’ which determine this. i am just wondering if this just means the min T score used by the mainstream. Not sure why they cant just say it clearer.
