[quote=\"tutortamil\"]GEP is a great way to single out the best from the rest

I totally agree with you.

how about those 'hot housed' into GEP and cannot cope later in P5/6 and others with arrogant attitude as a result of GEP ?[/quote]I think the arrogant attitude is more in part from their upbringing than to be from the programme itself. I have not seen any part of the curriculum inculcating such an attitude and I don't believe MOE has this intend as well.

Even at older age in universities, we see dropouts too. In top universities like Harvard, Cambridge and Oxford too, do the sudents going to these top uni feel proud, confident and arrogant when they join initially? Yes, I think so. But do they all graduate eventually? I mean 100% passing rate. The answer is No.

It also trains students who are not gifted to nearly the level of those who are in the gifted programme
