      I was looking at the results of PSLE 2007 and I realized that only 3 of the top 15 pupils are boys!!! 😐


      Strange considering more than half of a cohort are boys!

      Does this mean in Pri 6, girls are more hardworking?
      You need to do at least 10-15 years analysis to get more insight if the gender plays a strong part.

      Having said that, generally, girls' strength in languages, boys' in math/science.

      boy is disadvantaged when chinese or english is poor.

      girl has an advantage becos math/science also use languages!!! kekeke.

      honestly, gender does not matter in results....at the end the key positions in most industries still dominated by men... very successful women usually in the end still stand behind the man cos she has more options like looking after the kids based on current society's perception and need to multi-task... :lol:

        Just want to side-track a bit and share something I stumbled upon...

        It's a thread in another forum... and I found it quite amusing. 😛

        A simple question regarding 'New Condos within 1 km of Tao Nan' became a heated exchange with name calling, slamming schools, etc... and I couldn't help but laugh out loud at one point when someone posted \"All the bitchy parents, go to school forum to fight, tis is condosingapore forum !!\"

        Ha ha... we are not the 'bitchy parents' lah hor?! Ha ha ha... 😉

          That's what you get when you allow anonymous postings...

            super_dad:

            Tao Nan is top??? wow....


            Surprised that RGS is at the bottom of the five.

            RGS did not even have a single student in that list.

            In fact, the following GEP schools have very conspicuous no-shows in the top 15 last year:
            Raffles Girls, Rosyth, Henry Park, Catholic High, and ACS Primary

            They were pipped by the so-called neighbourhood schools:
            Geylang Methodist, West Grove Primary, Canossa Convent, Nan Chiau and Kong Hwa.

            I think they are not \"IN\" because the top pupils do not take PSLE anymore,
            they are in some \"direct path\" scheme...

            Please correct me if I'm wrong...

              I've heard this reason cited quite often for the seemingly lack of students from the 'top' schools in PSLE rankings.

              This is because the best of cohort are already accepted into the secondary school of their choice and they spend little to no effort for their PSLE. Usually for Direct Admission Scheme (DAS), they only need to pass their PSLE.

              To be honest, for 99% of all 12 year olds, if you told them that they only need to pass to qualify, then they are not likely to give you anything more...

                Top Pri Sch = Top PSLE result


                I would think the follow Pri schools which have GEP programme would most likely (although not always) produce Top PSLE results.

                - Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) Boys
                - Catholic High School (Primary)* Boys
                - Henry Park Primary School Co-ed
                - Nan Hua Primary School* Co-ed
                - Nanyang Primary School* Co-ed
                - Raffles Girls’ Primary School Girls
                - Rosyth School Co-ed
                - St Hilda’s Primary School Co-ed
                - Tao Nan School* Co-ed

                  I agree with you. After all, they are the top 1% of the whole cohort.

                  This makes me wonder something. How does those students (in GEP school but not in GEP class) fare? Wonder any students (that come from normal classes) actually tops the PSLE results? I will be impressed if normal classes can also produce top PSLE result. Then that school can be really considered.

                      Anyone knows where to look for probability of students getting to Secondary School for all primary schools and even better the percentage for each stream.

                        Each school will announce these stats to parents of graduating P6 students when they receive their PSLE results. Some will post these stats on their school website so you can check there.
