Didn’t you watch TV? Recently in a interview with Minister J Teo, she said talent is inborn, thus shouldn’t need money to groom.

How can that be? Got people allegedly spent $15K on a dance portfolio for DSA!
Btw got rumors that there will be no more acad DSA (math, Sci, Lang) starting from next yr. What will be left are those non-acad DSA which obviously children of poor parents like mine will be at a big disadvantage!! -

Am I right to say no more DSA academic but now known as \"special talent\" (Maths,Sc, Lang)? -
heard no more academic subject DSA next year, whether u call it Academic DSA or call it "special subject DSA"
But DSA by Music, Sports talent : still remain -
Hearsay from whatsapp parents chatgroup that it was announced during an open house last Saturday. Next year no more academic dsa. Not sure how reliable is the source but if true, then it will be back to t score the next few years?
When are they removing t score by the way? -
Remove t-score wef 2021 (kids born in 2009), replaced by new AL scheme system : currently 2017 P2 students impacted.
Last 4 psle batches, to experience T-score, are :-
Psle 2017 (born 2005),
Psle 2018 (born 2006),
Psle 2019 (born 2007),
Psle 2020 (born 2008).
Under new AL scheme, for academic subjects (Eng, maths, science) :
Whether your AL grade show up a 1 or an 8, for each of the 4 subjects -
The results speak for Itself : indicate clearly whether u or not, u have talent in that specific subject. -

I am aware there’s no more DSA academic (that is look at 4 subjects overall) but there’s a new provision known as ‘special academic talent’, that is, to consider the best academic subject?

I see.
Impression gathered from chatgroup was there will only be non-academic dsa, no more academic domain. All of us were so surprised.
So it was not true huh? 虚惊一场
