SINGAPORE - The number of primary school pupils applying to secondary schools through direct admissions continues to rise steadily, said the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) director of schools.


There were 31,800 applications from 12,200 pupils in 2022, with 3,900 eventually receiving offers, Mrs Tan Chen Kee said on Saturday at The Straits Times Smart Parenting post-PSLE webinar.

This is up slightly from 2021, which saw 31,400 applications from 12,100 pupils, of whom 3,800 received offers, she added.

Has she been called up for interviews/auditions from the other schools? I'm sure your DD will get multiple COs

Thanks! I hope so! Njc is the last one for audition next week. Interview/ auditions have been done for other 3 schools. For information, I counted 40 pupils for mgs music test in the room.

Thanks! SOTA, NYGS, NJC, MGS

If (Nanyang Girls High / NJC)
or
Methodist Girls' Secondary schools were to offer your daughter

either a CO or a Wait list,
via \"String ensemble\" talent domain,

she will have to decide, for herself :-

is it 6 years (A-level or IB) different curriculum path, that she wants ?

Thanks!
When we submitted the DSA application, we selected IP for MGS, which provides both IP (6 years) and Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate Program (SEC, 4 years).

Erm…I don’t think so, unless you selected “no preference” for either track.

Sorry! I mean MGS provides both options, and then we selected \"IP\".
