DSA 2024
-
this is what I gathered from the article:
2024 16000/41000=39%
2023 14500/38100=38%Guess the problem is in term of % it’s about there but because of cohort size remaining the same, the % of rejection will be higher.
Probably trying to do some damage control given that the rejections and offers will come in by this week. Today there is another article on parents managing expectations.

Huh? What do u mean by the cohort size remaining the same? Look at the denominator of the fraction. Dragon year 2024 has 41000-38100=2900 more kids compared to non-Dragon year 2023.
Looking at percentage-wise, seems like only 1% increase in percentage share of applicants. Thanks bbbay for the numbers.

I meant the cohort intake for the sec schools and non-MOE dsa schools. They are not increasing their intake because the schools do not have the facilities to.

@Dingdong29 I see. U mean the number of vacancies for both S1 posting and DSA vacancies. Are u very sure? Was it declared by the Principals during open house 2024? Afaik for 12 years ago (every Dragon year) the schools will have some leeway to increase vacancies just for that batch.

This is what I understand from the recent ST article.
‘ Even though the 2024 P6 pupils were born in the Dragon Year, MOE added that “the current admission quotas will apply regardless of the size of the cohort”
Can we be ever very sure?
But IF I remember correctly, this is also something SOTA implied during parent engagement session. Then From my own experience, my child’s primary school also kept to their yearly quota during her dragon year. -
Sharing this YouTube video on CNA’s interview with our Edu minister on the recent GEP revamp. Other area talk about are examples on what it mean to decide what is best for our children.
I couldn’t post the link here because of some “reputation” point needed. If you are keen, go to YouTube, search with “ gep changes cna”. It’s on a CNA’s podcast
