SINGAPORE - Financial manager Sally Ang's daughter had a stomachache the night before her first Primary School Leaving Examination paper on Thursday (Sept 30) but the doctor found signs of a respiratory infection and had her tested for Covid-19.
As it turned out, the antigen rapid test (ART) she took that night was negative.
However, Education Ministry (MOE) rules require pupils to also get a negative result on a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to take the exams.
For Mrs Ang's daughter, the PCR test result did not come in time.
That meant her daughter could not sit the PSLE English paper, leaving Mrs Ang cursing herself for taking the child to the doctor for stomach pain.
On Thursday, Mrs Ang got back the result of the PCR test, which was negative, and the girl will be able to sit the maths paper on Friday.
Mrs Ang, 41, said: \"It's a whole year of effort down the drain for her. I understand the need for Covid-19 protocols but this is very frustrating.\"
For the past few weeks, Mrs Ang said, the whole family scaled back social interactions to lessen her daughter's chances of contracting Covid-19 before the exams.
Her daughter is also not recorded as a close contact of a Covid-19 patient, she added.
However, now they have no choice but to put the whole thing behind them, and hope the stressful episode will not affect the girl's performance for the remaining papers, said Mrs Ang.
She said: \"My daughter had a tough time with home-based learning and she didn't do that well for her prelims in August, so we were really hoping that she could use the PSLE to pull up her grades.
\"But I don't understand why the rules have to be so stringent. She tested negative for the ART so surely she could have done the exam in a separate room or something like that.\"
MOE, in a statement on Sunday, said students who miss national exams for valid reasons will receive projected grades based on their past exam results and other factors like the school cohort's performance.
