I believe the score that qualifies for EESIS is different every year. Cos it's actually the top few % of the cohort who qualify. Am I right to say that?

I should think so.

Usually top 2% of psle cohort . If its 38000 then 760 boys n girls quality. They will be in the ESSIS n automatically qualify. Moe sets the ESSIS based on psle performance that year. Usually 260 n above. N these are the kids.who will qualify for top 4 schools by default.

Wow. Top 2%. I remembered my friend's son last year had 266 but he didn't qualify I think. Is this ESSIS also subject to household income?

Thank you chenlaoshi. ask May I also ask you why in this test paper, ticket price is needed?

Username123, the answer provided isn't very accurate (majority, if not all of these are produced by the company that sold the sch papers).

There is no need to mention that \"the script is adapted based from ... ...\". Also, if they need the student to state relevant fee, they will be clearer in their question. 好朋友 does not definitely means he/she must be a child ($15). If fee is required, they will state detailed information like 你六年级的同学志文 or 你的好朋志文友今年十岁 etc.

For note writing question (4 marks), language is worth 2 marks and content is worth 2 marks.

Thank you so much for the reply, chenloashi. Finally, I will like to ask what to write when biantiao information only requires you to 邀请 somebody without 详情 or 原因. Once again, thank you for your help. Sorry if the questions were overwhelming.

Only if he went to an independent school

[Swc]

ESIS is a scholarship offered by MOE. It is given to top 1/3 of all sec 1 students eligible for Independent Schools. So yes, the cut-off for ESIS is different every year.


ESIS is offered for 6 years and as long as you get promoted to the next level and exhibit good conduct, you can continue receiving ESIS.

However, besides ESIS, RI offers school-based scholarships and other financial assistance. These are not spelt out on their website coz it is on a case-by-case basis. The best way to find out what type of financial assistance is available to your child is to call up RI. They will be more than happy to give you the details. And yes, there are financial assistance that goes beyond just covering school fees.

EESIS is not subjected to household income, because a friend's son received \"free\" education throughout IP (Year 1 to Year 6) until graduation, from a Top IP Junior College, although he come from rich (wealthy) background. My friend (the mom) said the IP school look at your year-end academic results, at end of every year

Hi all,
Would like to ask for advice.

My son is aiming for RI. But we are concerned about the costs involved because we have 3 children but not eligible for subsidies .

Can I check how much the fees are for RI and whether there are extra enrichment programmes in RI and will these be subsidised?

I don't really want him to miss the opportunity of going RI but if it's too expensive, we may opt for other IP schools.

Would appreciate if someone who knows of people in RI can comment.

Thank you so much.
:thankyou:

for boys who are Singapore citizenship , if his PSLE Tscore goes above 260 or 262, students qualify for EESIS (Year 1) ?

However, subsequently, RI will look at your year-end results, every year

@end of Year 1 (IP), in order to continue enjoy receiving \"free\" education for Year 2 (IP), via EESIS,
what is the minimum (lowest) GPA score requirement, because failure to meet this requirement will mean that the student need to fork out and pay $300+, per month, his EESIS privilege gets terminated from that point onwards, or can he still continue to renew next year, if say, he is able to meet back the GPA score requirement again the following year ?

(EESIS not for Secondary students who are PR / foreigner status)

I don't think ESIS is based on GPA.

4. TENURE
4.1 The tenure of the scholarship is 6 years for students on the 6-year programme and 4 years for students on the O-Level track. The scholar must progress to the next level of study each year and have good conduct in order to continue receiving the scholarship.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/education/edusave/edusave-scholarships-for-independent-schools-%28esis%29

Extra enrichment programmes in RI are subsidised based on ISB Eligibilities.
i.e. $6,901- $9,000 ($1,726 - $2,250 per capita income) - 33%
$4,001 - $6,900 ($1,001 - $1,725 per capita income) - 70%
$2,751 - $4,000 ($691 - $1,000 per capita income) - 90%
< $2,751 (<$691 per capita income) - 100%
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/more-financial-help-for-students-from-lower-and-middle-income-families-in

Anyway the enrichment programs (such as overseas trips, boarding) are optional.

So is it top 2% or top one third of the psle cohort for ESIP if for 6 years integrated program? How many psle kids roughly every year sittin for exam?
